V. Janelt has scored a goal for Brentford! Assist by B. Mbeumo.
For most of the added time at the end of the game, Mbeumo was in the middle of the pitch, receiving the ball in a deep position before laying it off. This time, the winger was on the right stretching the pitch, whipping a perfect cross onto the head of Janelt who couldn't miss.
GOALLLLL! JANELT SCORES WITH SECONDS REMAINING! 1-1! What a header from the substitute. On the right flank, Mbeumo’s cross finds the head of Janelt who powers it past Guaita. Behind him, Toney couldn’t believe that it was taken away from him before seeing the ball fly into the net.
90' +5
Everyone apart from Raya is inside the Palace half. However, that will probably change if Brentford get a corner. The home side are throwing everything at it.

88'
Damsgaard looks to play the ball over the top of the Palace defence with Schade running behind. However, Richards matches his run and heads away.

85'

Palace get this Premier League clash under way. Olise with the first touch.
Hello and welcome to the live commentary for the Premier clash between Brentford and Crystal Palace.
Ivan Toney's 74th-minute equaliser helped Brentford secure a point against Arsenal last time out. Unbeaten in their previous 10 Premier League games, winning five and drawing five, three points today and a draw between Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham will see Thomas Frank's men move into the top six. Impressive at home, Brentford have won three successive games at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Crystal Palace are in desperate need of a win to end a torrid run of results at the start of 2023. Without a victory since the turn of the year, the Eagles have collected just three points in six games and have lost three of their last four on the road. Patrick Vieira will be looking for more from his team in the attack. Missing talisman Wilfried Zaha in the previous two games, Palace had just four shots on target, with both of their goals coming from a set piece.
BRENTFORD (4-3-3): David Raya; Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry; Josh Dasilva, Christian Norgaard, Mathias Jensen; Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, Yoane Wissa.
BRENTFORD SUBS: Matthew Cox, Kevin Schade, Zanka, Kristoffer Ajer, Keane Lewis-Potter, Mikkel Damsgaard, Shandon Baptiste, Vitaly Janelt, Mads Roerslev.
CRYSTAL PALACE SUBS: Joe Whitworth, Luka Milivojevic, Eberechi Eze, James McArthur, Will Hughes, Odsonne Edouard, Chris Richards, Naouirou Ahamada, Jairo Riedewald.
CRYSTAL PALACE (4-4-2): Vicente Guaita; Nathaniel Clyne, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Michael Olise, Cheick Doucoure, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Jeffrey Schlupp; Jordan Ayew, Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Brentford have found it difficult to penetrate the Palace defence. Having most of their shots from outside the box, they have only had touches inside the area after long throw-ins from Jensen or free-kicks from deep positions. Up against Mitchell, Mbeumo must try and run at the left-back and get to the byline with Toney available in the middle. As for Palace, they have looked dangerous from corners, but have not been a threat from open play. With Lokonga on the pitch, they must look for the midfielder, with the Arsenal loanee dropping into spaces and playing smart passes between the Brentford defenders.
That's all for today, goodbye.
Next up, Brentford host Fulham in the Premier League on March 6, with Palace at home against Liverpool next Saturday.
