A look at the top-flight sides Brentford have beaten in the EFL Cup

Southampton

Despite boss Thomas Frank having made a number of changes and only naming five substitutes, Brentford pulled off a 2-0 victory over a near full-strength Saints side at St Mary's in round two. Christian Norgaard put the visitors in front with a 40th-minute header, and Josh Dasilva added a finish in first-half stoppage time.

West Brom

Frank's men triumphed at a top-flight ground once again in the third round, this time on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns that saw them twice fight back from a goal down. After Hal Robson-Kanu scored second-half spot-kicks either side of an acrobatic Emiliano Marcondes equaliser, Marcus Forss then drew things level again with a penalty of his own. In the shootout that followed, David Raya saved Grady Diangana's effort before Norgaard converted to seal Brentford a 5-4 win.

Fulham

Having seen off a side that beat them to automatic promotion last term in Albion, Brentford then eliminated their play-off final conquerors as they ran out 3-0 winners at home against Fulham to book a maiden League Cup last-eight spot. Forss opened the scoring in the first half and Said Benrahma, making his penultimate appearance for the club before joining West Ham, added a brace after the break.

Newcastle

The Bees advanced to the first major cup semi-final in their history with a 1-0 victory over the Magpies sealed by Dasilva. The England Under-21 midfielder netted in the 66th minute of the contest at Brentford Community Stadium as he tucked away a Sergi Canos cross.
