Brentford move up to sixth place on 23 points, four points off the top four and three ahead of the Magpies in 12th. Newcastle levelled quickly, striker Alexander Isak stooping to head home Jacob Murphy’s penetrating ball into the middle just over three minutes later. With the wind and rain making conditions increasingly difficult, Brentford took the lead for the third time in the 56th minute when a free kick into the box made its way through to Collins and he steered it across Pope to make it 3-2.
"One of the best results you can have in that weather, both sides were struggling, the wind was carnage," Brentford's Collins said after another high-scoring home game."It just seems to be goalfests every time at this stadium. Three points today though and the defence is something to worry about on Monday," he added.
