Brentford B were unable to get past Brighton at Wheatsheaf Park on Sunday, losing 2-0.

Iwan Morgan had the Bees' best chance of the game in the first half, but in a game which lacked chances, the away side were ultimately the better team on the day.

Brentford B took on the Seagulls at Wheatsheaf Park towards the back end of last season and were on the wrong side of a 2-1 scoreline.

The Bees started in dominant fashion putting the away side under pressure and should have taken the lead as Morgan pounced on an error at the back and fired from close range, forcing the goalkeeper into a good save.

Despite the good start, the Seagulls took the lead as Harry Howell curled an effort past Reggie Rose.

Penalty appeals were waved away by the referee as Ashely Hay’s flick-on fell into the path of Yunus Konak and it looked like the latter was fouled by Brighton keeper Hugo Fisher but it was not given.

Chances were few and far between for both sides as there were long periods of possession without any clear-cut chances being created.

Morgan had a half chance, taking a snapshot from close range but he could not get his effort on target.

The hour mark saw wholesale changes made by both sides but it was one of the Brighton starters who went close, Caylan Vickers curled an effort just past Reggie Rose’s post.

The boys worked hard to find an equaliser but Brighton did well to minimise any creation of chances for the Bees in the second period.

With the last kick of the game, Louis Flower, scorer of the winner at Wheatsheaf Park when Brentford last faced the Seagulls, tapped in from close range to double the lead.

That was how the game would end as the home side suffered defeat in their penultimate pre-season game.
