Toumani Diagouraga’s performances over the Easter weekend earned him special recognition.
The Bees beat Notts County at home on Good Friday before losing to Milton Keynes Dons on Easter Monday.
Toumani scored the first goal against County with a shot from the edge of the penalty area that Bartosz Bialkowski let slip through his grasp.
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored a second for The Bees before Alan Judge pulled one back after Simon Moore save a controversial Jamal Campbell-Ryce penalty.
Brentford held on to take the win.
They also dominated for long periods against MK Dons on Easter Monday – with Toumani, Jonathan Douglas and Adam Forshaw taking control of midfield – but conceded a goal in each half to lose the match.
Toumani’s performances saw him selected in the Easter npower League One Team of the Week, announced yesterday.
He was part of a midfield that included Patrick Bamford, of MK Dons, Max Ehmer, of Stevenage, and Crewe Alexandra’s Bradden Inman.
MK Dons, Shrewsbury Town and Walsall have two players each in the team while AFC Bournemouth and Coventry City supplied one each.
