Brentford beat Wolves 5-3 in a thrilling encounter that saw six goals scored in the first half, with the Bees ending a three-match winless run to move into the Premier League’s top half.

Both sides traded blows early on, with former Wolves defender Nathan Collins heading home inside two minutes before winning a 20th-minute penalty that was converted by Bryan Mbeumo.

Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen hit equalisers for the visitors between those Brentford goals, the latter with an excellent flick from Rayan Ait-Nouri’s cross, but some dire Wolves defending allowed Christian Norgaard to re-establish the hosts’ lead, drilling home from the right side of the area.

Ethan Pinnock’s back-post header put Brentford further ahead just before half-time, and despite a string of second-half saves by Sam Johnstone, the Bees grabbed a fifth through Fabio Carvalho, who pounced on a rebound in the 90th minute.

Rayan Ait-Nouri pulled one back for Wolves at the death, but they stay bottom with just one point, while Brentford go ninth in the table with 10.
