Town’s U21s came from behind to grab their first win of the season as they beat 10-man Brentford 4-1 at their Jersey Road training ground this afternoon. Alan Lee, Jordan Adekunle, Matt Clarke and Anthony Wordsworth were on the scoresheet.
Alfie Mawson put the home side in front in the 20th minute, but Blues veteran Alan Lee evened things up on 75 from close range.
The Bees were reduced to 10 men when George Pilbeam was sent off for picking up two yellow cards, the second for a lunge on keeper Scott Loach.
Sub Adekunle netted Town’s second in the 81st minute and then Clarke added the third with four minutes left and Wordsworth the fourth on 89.
The Blues included trialist Eoin Wearen at the centre of the defence, the 21-year-old ex-West Ham man having played the last three Professional Development League South game.
U21s: Loach, Veseli, Sowunmi, Wearen, Hammond, Lawrence, Wordsworth, Hunt, Doherty (M Clarke 46), Timlin (Berkane 72), Lee (Adekunle 75). Subs: Marsden, Bishop.
