Brentford secure long-awaited win over Sheffield United

LONDON, England : Brentford secured a 2-0 home win over rock-bottom Sheffield United on Saturday to end their winless run of nine Premier League games under coach Thomas Frank.

In the 63rd minute, Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard fired a shot at goal that was tipped into the back of the net by Sheffield United's Oliver Arblaster past his own keeper Ivo Grbic.

With his first goal for the West London club, Frank Onyeka doubled the hosts' advantage following an assist from his fellow substitute Kevin Schade in the 93rd minute. Brentford also had two efforts disallowed for offside and a foul.

Brentford moved up a place to 14th in the table on 32 points, ahead of Crystal Palace who play Liverpool on Sunday. They are seven points clear of the relegation zone with five games to play.

Sheffield United remained at the foot of the standings on 16 points.
