Brentford took another step away from the bottom three following a wasteful 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Mason Mount’s goal deep in stoppage time looked to have given Manchester United a smash-and-grab win over the dominant Bees, but Kristoffer Ajer scored moments later to restore level terms
The Bees unloaded 31 shots toward Andre Onana’s goal but only forced four saves out of the Manchester United keeper, hitting or just missing the framework on several occasions before shot No. 31 leveled the score line.
Brentford grew more dangerous as the game wore on but could only lay claim to a single point, boosting their total to 27. That puts them five points clear of the bottom three, as their Premier League winless run hits seven games.
The Red Devils beat Everton last time out but rarely looked capable of beating Mark Flekken on Saturday until Mount’s arrow from near the top of the 18. The point gives United 48, eight behind fifth-place Spurs and 11 back of fourth-place Aston Villa.
