GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM – The magnificent Gtech Community Stadium proved a fortress once again as Brentford roared back from a goal down to sink a hapless Newcastle United 3-1, extending the Magpies’ miserable away run.
The impressive west London home, still a relative newcomer to top-flight football, was rocking as a thrilling second-half turnaround, featuring a brace from striker Igor Thiago and a key red card for Newcastle’s Dan Burn, secured all three points for the high-flying Bees.
Harvey Barnes had given the visitors a first-half lead, but a packed and passionate Gtech Community Stadium crowd witnessed their side equalise shortly after the break through Kevin Schade.
The tide then turned decisively on the 73-minute mark when Magpies defender Dan Burn was dismissed for a second bookable offence, conceding a penalty in the process.
Brazilian star Thiago coolly slotted home the resulting spot-kick and then wrapped up the victory in stoppage time, sending the Gtech Community Stadium into raptures.
The 17,250 capacity ground, built on the vision of Brentford’s rise, is quickly becoming a Premier League bogey ground for visitors, and its intimidating atmosphere clearly played a huge part in Newcastle’s collapse.
Newcastle’s wretched away form in the league now stretches to ten games without a win, a staggering statistic that Eddie Howe must address.
For Brentford, manager Keith Andrews’ tactical changes and the unstoppable energy of the home support sealed a massive win that sees them climb up the Premier League table.
The Gtech Community Stadium stands as a shining testament to Brentford’s remarkable journey, and on Sunday, it was the beating heart of a stunning victory.
