LONDON: Brentford picked up their first home win in nine games on Saturday in an eventful 4-2 victory against 10-man Brighton, aided by two goals and an assist from Bryan Mbeumo.

The loss dented Brighton's hopes of qualifying for European football next season and left them in 10th position on 48 points, now just two ahead of Brentford in 11th.

Mbeumo opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Danny Welbeck clawed a goal back for Brighton just before halftime.

Mbeumo netted again early in the second half – his 18th league goal of the season – before finding Yoane Wissa for Brentford's third in the 58th minute.

The Seagulls fought back via Kaoru Mitoma in the 81st minute despite having Joao Pedro sent off 20 minutes earlier. They looked intent on equalising but Brentford captain Christian Norgaard put the game beyond them with his side's fourth goal five minutes into extra time.
