Brentford boss Frank explains going with Wissa over Mbeumo for Brighton draw

Brentford boss Thomas Frank says Yoane Wissa deserved his start in last night's 0-0 draw with Brighton.

Frank went with Wissa over Bryan Mbeumo.

He said: “Bryan is a key player for us. He was very close to a start.

“Ivan is our best offensive player and when we play with two there is one spot next to him, and I think Wissa has done well.

“So I think he deserved to get another start. It's just good to have good players pushing each other but of course I want Bryan in the team."
