00:00Crystal Palace and Brentford step out into Selhurst Park side-by-side in the table,
00:08but with Palace in the top half and Brentford looking to move into it here this afternoon.
00:14Not every minute last year as well, now Kamada into Mateta who finds Jeremy Pino.
00:20One up towards the back post, Mateta rising, no real pace on the header and it was nice and easy.
00:30It was half a decent opportunity there, difficult for Mateta to get the purchase on the header.
00:36It's Munoz on the far side, he took out Xarda as he came into the 18-yard box and actually had the ball gone a little bit deeper,
00:43Munoz very well could have been in business. A little bit of an escape for Brentford and maybe not all of their own doing.
00:50Mitchell to Kamada, shifts onto his left foot and lets fly. Whistles past the post, just veered away from goal at the end,
01:02but he put plenty behind it, Tai Chi Kamada.
01:06He's had a good start to this game, no question, neat and tidy with his passing, probably the highest up the pitch he's got.
01:12Drags it on the left foot, but well worth an effort.
01:16Got to catch that flash and arrow it towards the top corner.
01:20Ball just spinning away from the target, but a good spell from the home side.
01:24Jeremy Pino launches it forward.
01:28Head of one and Mateta!
01:31Crystal Palace ahead and it's Jean-Philippe Mateta with his sixth Premier League goal of the season.
01:41He had an awful lot to do there.
01:44Well, I'll add to that, it's a brilliant first header.
01:48Lerma towering at the far post and he steers it directly towards the talismanic Mateta.
01:57And that is just a peach of a header. He's got so much to do here.
02:01He recognises, you can see his eyes almost light up as it's travelling towards him.
02:05And he's got to put enormous power on that to guide it towards the far corner.
02:11That's no side as Munoz sends it into the Brentford box once again.
02:16Richards contesting with Collins.
02:17Sar on the turn!
02:19Just the wrong side of the post.
02:22Palace are in the mood here and came awfully close to a second.
02:25They're clever just to hold his position there.
02:28Sar as Richards competed with Adja.
02:32And it drops perfectly for him.
02:34I think because of the position of Collins in particular,
02:37he probably can't get this towards the opposite corner.
02:41We see a bit more distance this time from Jefferson Lerma.
02:45Tries it on his shirt as opposed to the towel on this occasion.
02:50Propels it into the penalty area.
02:52Awkward flick back!
02:53It's found its way in off Nathan Collins.
02:58And Palace have doubled their lead.
03:01The ball's moving around in the wind.
03:05Richards' presence proves problematic and he would have been the taker
03:09had Lerma not been in the side.
03:10So it's all worked out well for Crystal Palace and Collins.
03:14Having a tough afternoon, partially responsible for the opening goal, losing Mateta.
03:19He definitely gesticulated to a teammate or two that that played a part.
03:24And he just lost it.
03:25Loose from Collins and it allows Sar to stride through.
03:28Ismiler Sarkin!
03:29He finished off the post!
03:31And Collins can recover to get the ball away.
03:34That might have been game over.
03:36Brentford remain in the game.
03:38Again with the error and there was just that moment where I felt he was going to make the foul and
03:45therefore see red.
03:46What's becoming a really difficult afternoon hits the base of the post and somehow rolls to safety with.
03:51Manchester City have stopped Brentford scoring in the Premier League so far this season.
03:57If they can get one, they know it could mightily change the mood here.
04:01Igor Thiago, Jensen's cross in.
04:03He's going to break for Jan Held.
04:06Golden chance.
04:08Excellent play from Jensen.
04:10That was really cute.
04:10Puts it into an area, bit of good fortune.
04:14Steadies himself and a wild attempt on his left side.
04:18And he's normally very accomplished from that type of distance.
04:22Palace have conceded four times as well.
04:24Here is Lewis Potter.
04:26Nelson.
04:27Reece Nelson pushed away by Henderson.
04:32Nelson, good touch.
04:33Gets his shot away quickly.
04:35Very, very capable.
04:36They have to be aware of that.
04:37Him dropping into pockets because he's...
04:43Gives away the free kick into a sixth minute of time added on.
04:48And there is the full-time whistle.
04:51A comfortable Crystal Palace victory here at Selhurst Park where they are now 11 Premier League games unbeaten.
05:01Full-time score here, Crystal Palace 2, Brentford 0.
