Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves scored a late goal, aiding their 2-1 victory at Brentford in Saturday’s Premier League match. This game at Brentford Community Stadium was temporarily under suspension due to security reasons. So, among other Premier League football news, a drone delayed Wolves’ win at Brentford by 1-2 away.
Portugal international Neves struck in the 78th minute, firing home from 20 yards out following a brilliant team effort. Indeed, the visitors fought back after Brentford’s Ivan Toney cancelled out Joao Moutinho’s opener.
Moutinho scored in the 48th minute after he played a clever one-two with Nelson Semedo on the box’s edge. We then saw him smashing the ball into the bottom corner with the outside of his foot.
Brentford responded to this threat in the 71st minute with Toney firing in a volley from Bryan Mbeumo’s free-kick. However, the home team could not find any more goals and slumped to their fourth successive league defeat.
Premier League Football News – A Drone Delayed Wolves’ Win at Brentford
Earlier, though, before Wolves won 1-2 away, the two teams had to play out a prolonged first-half. This was because a drone hovering above the Brentford Community Stadium paused the match for 19 minutes.
“There’s a break in play and the teams have been taken off the field because there’s an unofficial drone flying above the stadium,” Wolves wrote on Twitter.
Incidentally, there’s is a Premier League rule that teams must leave the pitch whenever an unidentified drone enters a stadium.
So, the game had to eventually resume later on. The referee added 19 minutes to the end of the first half to make up for the interruption. Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves scored a late goal to seal a 2-1 win.
