Keith Andrews believes his Brentford side are “growing as a group” following their EFL Cup win over Aston Villa.
After Harvey Elliott opened the scoring at Gtech Community Stadium, Aaron Hickey’s second-half equaliser forced penalties between the two Premier League sides.
And the returning Mikkel Damsgaard struck the decisive spot-kick to seal a 4-2 victory in the shootout, sealing their spot in the fourth round of the competition.
The result came after they salvaged a point in their last Premier League encounter against Chelsea, with Fabio Carvalho striking in second-half stoppage time for the Bees.
Brentford find themselves 12th in the top-flight with four points from their first four games, one place below Fulham, who they face this Saturday.
