Brentford 1-0 West Brom: Ollie Watkins strike hands Leeds chance to take Championship lead in Fulham clash on Saturday as Baggies falter

Brentford were supposed to have said goodbye to this creaking corner of west London by now.

Only coronavirus has prolonged their 116-year stay at Griffin Park so, for a few more weeks at least, they remain a club with two stadiums and one aim: crash the promotion party and move to swankier surroundings in more revered company.

If this represented a new beginning of the end, it wasn’t a bad start. Suddenly the battle to join the big boys is cooking nicely under the summer sun.

The Championship leaders have offered Leeds a change to pass them after the defeat
