Brentford secured a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener, with Yoane Wissa scoring the decisive goal late in the match. Bryan Mbuemo had initially put Brentford ahead, but Palace equalized through an own goal from Ethan Pinnock. Palace's Eberechi Eze had a goal disallowed for a foul prior to Mbuemo's strike, which sparked controversy. Brentford's manager, Thomas Frank, addressed transfer speculation surrounding striker Ivan Toney, confirming his absence was due to ongoing rumors but not indicating a move was imminent. Crystal Palace's coach, Oliver Glasner, expressed disappointment over the defeat, emphasizing the need for better defensive organization moving forward.
