Premier League: Brentford end run of defeats

Brentford ended their long losing run in the Premier League on the day new signing Christian Eriksen was introduced to the fans but a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday did little to soothe the club’s relegation jitters.

A dreadfully dull game was crying out for the watching Dane’s flair as defences ruled the day and the two teams cancelled each other out.

Brentford, who have dropped too close for comfort to the bottom three after five successive defeats from an admittedly tough run of fixtures, had marginally the better opportunities to break the deadlock.
