Ghana's Technical Advisor watches Super Eagles star in Brentford's win vs Burnley

Published: March 12, 2022

Brentford earned back-to-back Premier League wins for the very first time after defeating Burnley 2-0 at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday evening.

Liverpool icon Michael Owen and Ghana Technical Advisor, Chris Hughton were on punditry duties for the Premier League international feed for the meeting between the Bees and Seagulls.

Hughton, born to an Irish mother and Ghanaian father, will provide technical advice to Ghana's coaching staff for this month's 2022 World Cup playoff matches against Nigeria.

And the former Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove coach had an opportunity to run the rule over Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka who entered the game as a substitute in the 90th minute.

Onyeka, a holding midfielder, was brought in to shore up the defence as Brentford manager Thomas Frank wanted to protect his side's narrow lead.

Red-hot striker Ivan Toney nodded home a brilliant delivery from Christian Eriksen to open the scoring with five minutes to go and the number 17 sealed the win when he converted a spot kick in stoppage time.

Brentford, as a result of the win today, have eased their relegation fears, going nine points clear of the bottom three with nine matches left to be played.
