Brentford boss Thomas Frank was satisfied after their 2-1 preseason friendly defeat at Stuttgart.

Bryan Mbeumo scored his second goal of pre-season but two second half strikes saw Stuttgart snatch a win from a very hard-fought and hot contest.

Frank enjoyed some of the counter-attacking football from his side.

"There were a lot of positives, we played two mixed teams again to give all the boys 45 minutes. It was a very warm day and the boys have been trained very hard," he said.

"They dug deep and produced two performances.

"We were extremely dangerous in transition and scored a fantastic goal from that."
