Aldershot downed at Griffin Park

Brentford cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win in the local derby with Aldershot. The Bees took the lead after 28 minutes when Marcus Bean latched on to a backpass to give the home side the lead after a bright start from the visitors. Brentford keeper Ben Hamer kept his side in it with fingertip saves to deny John Grant and Rob Elvins either side of the break. The hosts could even afford the luxury of a missed Charlie MacDonald penalty before the lively striker made no mistake with a second spot kick just before half-time. Aldershot had their chances to make a game of it but the Londoners wrapped things up with a debut league goal for Ipswich loan striker Jordan Rhodes three minutes from time.
