The League Managers Association’s panel, comprising LMA chair Martin O’Neill OBE, Sir Alex Ferguson CBE, Chris Hughton, Rachel Yankey OBE, Les Ferdinand MBE, Clare Tomlinson, Jess Creighton, Stuart Pearce MBE and Barry Fry has determined that the Utilita Performance of the Week awardshould go to the Bees for their performance at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday 4 January.
Kevin Schade's early goal and Bryan Mbeumo's second-half brace were added to in stoppage time by Keane Lewis-Potter and Yoane Wissa in a totally dominant performance from the west Londoners as they recorded their biggest-ever Premier League win.
“Attitude, attitude, attitude; we spoke about that before the game, being confident but humble," Frank revealed in his post-match interview.
“Being confident that we are a good team and they are good players, but humble enough to put in the intensity, dedication, work ethic; everything it takes to put a top performance out there.
“I’m extremely proud of the performance, it’s one of the best performances we’ve had in the four years in the Premier League.
