Brentford earns promotion to Premier League for first time
AP Published in Ahram Online on 29 - 05 - 2021

Brentford reached the Premier League for the first time by beating Swansea 2-0 in the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
The west London club scored two early goals and held on against 10-man Swansea to join Norwich and Watford in promotion to the Premier League next season. Brentford hasn't played in the top flight since 1947.
Championship record-scorer Ivan Toney calmly converted a penalty in the 10th minute after Swansea goalkeeper Freddie Woodman had brought down Bryan Mbeumo in the box.
The former Newcastle striker didn't miss from the spot this season _ 11-for-11 _ and ended the campaign with 33 goals.
Mbeumo then led a counterattack 10 minutes later, making a long run and passing left to Mads Roerslev Rasmussen, who squared the ball for Emiliano Marcondes' one-timer past Woodman into the bottom right corner of the net.
Swansea top scorer Andre Ayew threatened just after the break but sent a header wide from close range.
The Swans' fate was all but sealed in the 65th when midfielder Jay Felton was sent off on a straight red card for a clumsy challenge.
Brentford lost to Fulham in last year's playoff final last August. Swansea last played in the Premier League in the 2017-18 season.
Champion Norwich and runner-up Watford automatically booked their places in the top flight.
