Pre-Season: AFC Wimbledon 0 - 1 Brentford

Brentford began their pre-season campaign with a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon

A single goal late in the first half was enough to give Brentford the victory.

The game was played in some intense conditions and the first half failed to capture the imagination, but Brentford scored in the dying moments. The second period was much livelier and threatened further goals, but none came in the end.

The goal came as Brentford started to take control of the game. While The Bees would probably have wanted to do more in attack, they were solid at the back. David Raya was untroubled and as the half wore on, 

After a fairly dull start to the game, the Premier League side eventually started to play more on the front foot and in Wimbledon territory. This enabled them to take the lead before the break. 

Ultimately, it was a decent test for Brentford in testing competitions. They said: "It was a perfect test for us right now."

Everyone associated with Brentford will be wondering, can they survive and thrive in the highest level of English football.

Potential new signings Axel Tuanzebe  Manchester United's young defender is expected to be leaving Old Trafford on loan and Brentford could be a good option. We have also suggest that he could be on the way to Carrow Road.  Juan Mata Another Manchester United player. This would be a huge shock but he could be available on a free transfer. He would provide the club with an awful lot of experience. He has played in London before.The video below contains his best Chelsea goals.
