Brentford captain Norgaard: Newcastle defeat tough to take

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard admits defeat at Newcastle was tough to take.

Callum Wilson converted a penalty won by Gordon, having been fouled by Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken, for the only goal of the game.

Norgaard said: "Disappointed of course, I thought we played a really good game here and made it really hard for Newcastle.

"We could have taken something away from here so it's a tough one to take.

"We had big chances in the second half where we could have gone in front, before they got their soft penalty.

"I heard the referee say 'not for me, not for me' so maybe the assistant gave it. I just think in a game like this it is not the right decision.

"It's frustrating of course, you come here as the underdogs and this small decision turns it. It's a tough one to take."
