Brentford marked Thomas Frank's 300th game in charge with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in wet and windy conditions at Selhurst Park on Super Sunday.
Bryan Mbeumo's penalty - re-taken after a VAR review confirmed Marc Guehi's encroachment in the penalty area - put the Bees in front, and Kevin Schade doubled the lead, though a late goal from Palace debutant Romain Esse made for a tense finale.
Five of the seven Premier League meetings between the teams had ended level, and there was little in the first half to suggest that would not be the case once again.
Mark Flekken produced a strong right-hand to keep out a fierce strike from Jean-Philippe Mateta inside 10 minutes, while at the other end, Yoane Wissa's low effort was tipped around the post by Dean Henderson and Mbeumo's free-kick whistled inches past the post..
