Brentford’s Youth Team ended up on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller against Crewe Alexandra on an afternoon that also saw two players sent off, a left back finish the game in goal and a last second penalty saved.
The Bees were beaten 3-2 in the Under-18 Professional Development League Two clash at their Jersey Road Training Ground last week.
Crewe went ahead early on but Fabian Rowe scored twice to put The Bees in front before 20 minutes had elapsed.
Crewe levelled before the end of an even first half but Brentford bossed it after the break.
They looked set for at least a draw before Goalkeeper Joe Taylor was sent off for handball outside of his penalty area.
With all three substitutes used, left back Tom Field went in goal for The Bees.
He was unable to prevent Crewe taking the lead with two minutes remaining but the visitors has substitute Dominic Smith sent off for foul and abusive language and deep in to stoppage time, Courtney Senior won Brentford a penalty.
With the last kick of the afternoon James Ferry sent the penalty low to the right of Crewe goalkeeper Robbie Johnson only for the stopper to get down and superbly turn it away to secure his side the win.
