Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to Sky Sports, asked about potentially finishing in the European places: “It is important we have dreams. Everyone needs dreams and ambitions.
“[Manchester United boss] Erik ten Hag said something about Alex Ferguson who said the season starts in April. If we think too far ahead we will have a problem. It is important to celebrate our wins but after we have to work very hard and see where we will end.”
More from Thomas Frank, speaking to Sky Sports: “To get the win was very pleasing for me. I have been onto the players that after a good run of games – beating Man City, a good game against Tottenham, West Ham beating them and Liverpool beating – we are facing Bournemouth at home, a very tricky game.
“These players have a top mentality. I just wanted to make sure we trained like beasts the whole week. We know in the Premier League nothing is ever easy.
“I don’t think we played a top game but in a season how many perfect games do you play? Four or five? It was a well-deserved win.”
On the penalty, speaking to BBC MOTD: “I understand that penalties are debatable. I think the defining thing for me is that the left arm from [Marcos] Senesi showed it was definitely a penalty.
“I think it’s so important to have that laser focus on the next game and then dream about getting to the highest position possible.”
