Bryan Mbeumo’s retaken penalty and a brave Kevin Schade header gave the Bees only a second win in 10 matches across all competitions.

The visitors broke the deadlock midway through the second half.

Mbeumo struck the post with his initial penalty but, after Marc Guehi was penalised for encroachment following a VAR review, the forward made no mistake with his retaken spot-kick as he sent Dean Henderson the wrong way.

Schade secured the points when he nodded in Mikkel Damsgaard's cross 10 minutes from time, though debutant Romain Esse grabbed a late consolation from close range for the Eagles.

Meanwhile, South Korea were knocked out by the defending champions, India, with a 1-4 defeat in the semi-final. In their pool stage encounter, South Korea had previously played to a 2-2 draw against their next opponent, Pakistan.

On the other hand, China have qualified for their maiden Asian Champions Trophy final. Their journey to the summit clash has been a rollercoaster ride. They started with a defeat to India but bounced back with a 4-2 win over Malaysia. The hosts then faced a 2-3 loss to South Korea and were also routed 5-1 by Pakistan in the pool stage.

Thomas Frank's side stay 11th but move four points clear of Palace, who remain 12th.

Data Debrief: Mbeumo matches Berbatov

Brentford have won successive Premier League away games in the same season for the first time since beating Manchester City and West Ham back-to-back in 2022-23.

Mbeumo was, eventually, on target from the penalty spot, meaning he has scored all nine Premier League spot-kicks he has taken for Brentford.

He is only the fifth player in the division to take nine or more and score all of them, after Cole Palmer (12), Yaya Toure (11), Raul Jimenez (10) and Dimitar Berbatov (nine).

Mbeumo has also netted 10 goals in Premier League London derbies in the last two seasons, with only Nicolas Jackson (11) registering more during that time.

Esse gave Palace hope just 119 seconds after coming on as a substitute. The 19-year-old became the first teenager to score on his Premier League debut since Rayan Ait-Nouri for Wolves in October 2020.sbet
