Five minutes later, they could have been two goals up, but Mikkel Damsgaard's strike was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) due to a foul in the build-up.

Onyeka was subbed on in the 90th minute and wasted no time to score his first goal for the Bees, according to a report by Soccernet.

In a viral video shared by Brentford on social media, the Super Eagles midfielder hit the back of the net after getting to the end of an excellent pass from German forward Kevin Schade.

Onyeka also set a record by being the 42nd Nigerian to score a goal in the Premier League's history.

The win means the Bees are now 14th in the Premier League table, seven points ahead of 18th-placed Luton Town. This means they could avoid relegation this season.
