Brentford head coach Thomas Frank couldn't hide his elation after the Bees beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Sunday - but the boss insisted that he still wants more from his side.

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa found the net at Gtech Community Stadium, which confirmed the victory, and Frank said that he struggles to find a better feeling than securing a Premier League win.

“I’m feeling unbelievable! We’re sitting here, in the sun, it’s a lovely Sunday afternoon, and we just got three points in the Premier League - there are very few things that can match that feeling," he smiled.

“It was a tough game, against a good Crystal Palace side. The first 20 minutes, we started badly - or credit to Palace for starting well - then we grew back into the game, and got better and better; we scored an unbelievable goal. 

“The second half started a little bit back and forth, Palace probably edged it, but, despite getting through that lower-performance spell, we conceded a goal we should have avoided. 

“We kept fighting, kept staying in the game, and the substitutions - especially [Mikkel] Damsgaard and [Keane] Lewis-Potter - did very well, in terms of changing the game. And then we scored a very nice goal... there was a little deflection but they all count! 

“It was a fairly even game but we managed to edge it, which is a big quality.” 

He added: “A win is always important, in every aspect. It just gives us a boost - but I want more.

"We need to have a good week, we go to Anfield next weekend, and we’ll see what we can do there.” 

Frank also explained the absence of Ivan Toney, who wasn't in the squad for the Bees' opening game of the season.

"There's a lot going on around Ivan, with transfer rumours and transfer activity," stated the Dane. "That's why we took the decision to leave him out of the squad today."
