Brentford boss Thomas Frank says their 2-0 win at Wolves was fully deserved.

The visitors won via goals from Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney.

I am very happy. I'm so pleased and proud of the players, and especially their defensive urgency; I really loved the mentality and the determination," Frank smiled.

We know, when we are on it, we are one of the good defensive sides in the league, and we have lacked that level of consistency or urgency or whatever in too many games - it feels like it's been three years since we had a clean sheet!

The clean-sheet mentality was a big focus today. We spoke about it during the week, in training and in meetings, and, I know it sounds simple, but I said, 'clean sheet and we'll win the game', because we'll always score goals.

I'm happy with the way we defended as a team: our principles, but also the 50/50 duels, closing down one-on-one situations, running hard to get under the ball, and good blocks. I was so pleased with that side of the game."
