More milestones

It seems like these things are non-stop, but the Newcastle game was Dango Ouattara's 100th in the Premier League (19 with Brentford, the rest with Bournemouth). It was also league game number 50 for Caoimhin Kelleher, half with Brentford (the other half with Liverpool). While we're at it, it was also Romelle Donovan's second appearance in the league.

Another penalty

Igor Thiago scored his sixth penalty of the season. It's the eighth penalty that the Bees have earned this season, though only the second for a handball in the box. The Bees have also conceded a league high seven penalties, four ending up as goals.

Dango's performance

Ouattara arguably played his best game for the Bees, scoring the winning goal, and helping to set up the other two for the Bees. His three goal contributions were best in the game. He managed five progressive carries, two successful dribbles, a game-best eight touches in the opposition penalty area and five attempted crosses.

He had a chance late in the game to turn a great game into a legendary game, but he lifted his shot just above the bar.

Winning after conceding the first goal

The opposition has scored first in 9 of the Bees' 25 games so far this season. They've only come back to win in two of those games, both times against Newcastle – this game, as well as the home fixture in November when the Bees came back to win 3-1.
