Brentford made it three wins on the trot with a dominant performance over managerless Sheffield Wednesday at Griffin Park.

Lasse Vibe netted his sixth goal in five games on 20 minutes and Florian Jozefzoon capped a fine performance with a tidy finish eight minutes from time, as the home side produced a sensational display of attacking football.

And manager Dean Smith was unable to hide his delight as his side excelled at both ends of the pitch.

“I was really pleased,” he said. “That was as complete a performance as we’ve had all season.

"The only fear was that we hadn’t killed the game with the chances we had.

“I can’t remember Daniel Bentley having to make a save - they had a header from the corner but other than that, nothing.

“Everybody knows what we’re about with the ball but I wanted to show people what we’re good at without the ball.”

Brentford took the lead with their first shot following a sweeping move from back to front.

There seemed nothing on when Nico Yennaris picked up the ball in the right-back position, but he surged forward and swapped passes with Jozefzoon before playing in Vibe, who beat his man and finished coolly past Joe Wildsmith.

The fact that they didn’t was largely down to Wildsmith, who tipped a Ryan Woods shot over the bar, stood tall to deny Jozefzoon one-on-one, and diverted Vibe’s effort behind when he looked certain to double his tally.

The onslaught continued after the break - Vibe had a shot deflected over the bar, Barbet fired across the face of goal, and Sergi Canos saw a spectacular volley land on the roof of the net.

Then, just when it looked like Brentford might be in with a nervy finish, Jozefzoon fired into the top corner to round off a fine counter-attack.
