Thomas Frank said he almost gave up before Brentford snatched a late equaliser

Thomas Frank claimed he almost gave up on the football gods before Brentford snatched a late equaliser to deny Manchester United the most undeserved of wins.

Mason Mount fired United ahead in injury-time after they had been outplayed at the Gtech Community Stadium, but Kristoffer Ajer snatched a late equaliser to give Brentford something for their efforts.

'There should have been only one winner in the game, that could only be us,' said Frank, who thought it was Brentford's best performance of the season and even better than their 4-0 win over United in the same fixture last season.

'Then you go 1-0 down in the 96th minute and you think football is brutal. I almost lost faith in the football god but he gave a bit back. What a performance!

'We had our entire back-four out. We completely dominated the game and there could only be one winner.

'These players deserve so much praise. They are a fantastic group of humans to work with. We had the most shots ever in the Premier League.

'How we didn't win is incredible.

'It dropped for the right players that you want it to drop for, but that is football. I am very, very happy with the performance. It was more or less the perfect performance.'
