Ah, the green, green grass of home. Where would they be without it?

Brentford raised themselves after a dreadful opening 40 minutes to storm back from 2-0 down and claim another three points on home soil - though it needed a goal deep into seven minutes of injury time to settle it from Bryan Mbeumo.

Having done the hard part in recovering from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, the Bees really should have closed out the deal as were reduced to 10 men. But the away side levelled it through sub Liam Delap and looked on course to salvage something from another crazy game by Kew Bridge.

That was until Mbeumo lifted a hopeful chip towards the far post that evaded everyone and caught out keeper Arijanet Muric - who was badly at fault for letting the ball creep past him for a heart-stopping late winner.

The winless Tractor Boys were left bewildered and deflated, having started so brightly to put themselves seemingly in sight of that long-awaited first victory back in the Premier League, only to flounder defensively.

The start to the season has been brutal in terms of away fixtures for the Bees - Liverpool, Man City, Spurs and Man United represent a pretty tough overture and they lost all four.

But it's been a different tale at the Gtech against the Premier League's middle to lower classes with Palace, Saints and Wolves all put away before today and only West Ham escaping with a point. Make that four wins out of five now.

Ipswich's early positivity belied their struggle to get off the mark and it paid off when Kalvin Phillips - once the great white hope of the England midfield - played a long ball up to George Hirst, whose flick opened up space for Sam Szmodics to finish smartly, the striker opening up his body to curl inside the far post.

And we had hardly restarted before Ipswich skipper Conor Chaplin darted into space and played in Hirst with a quick diagonal ball, who then beat the advancing Mark Flekken with a cool chip.

The goal came at a price for the visitors, though, with their strongest attacking outlet, Chiedoze Ogbene, stretchered off with his left leg in a splint.

The Bees looked in disarray and almost shipped another goal to Szmodics, so were delighted to somehow go in all square at the break when they scored twice in a minute.

In what was almost their first really dangerous moment of the half, Yoane Wissa tucked home his fourth of the season after Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt had combined in a quick raid down the left.

And in a crazy end to the half, Wissa ran onto a perfectly-weighted pass from Mikkel Damsgaard before sliding the ball under Muric - his partially-parried effort helped into his own net by defender Harry Clarke.

The momentum shift looked complete soon after the restart. Clarke manhandled Lewis-Potter in a panic as the pair darted towards the left corner of the box and VAR intervened to steer ref Lewis Smith into upgrading the free-kick to a penalty.

Mbeumo exacted full punishment with a staccato run up and shot down the middle from the spot. He has eight for the season now - factoring in the winner - making a mockery of those predicting goalscoring issues for the Bees after Ivan Toney's departure.

Clarke's miserable afternoon was complete when he picked up a second yellow card for another foul just outside the area - debateable this one perhaps - and Damsgaard clipped the top of the bar from the ensuing free-kick.

It was at that stage that Town boss Kieran McKenna brought on the livewire Delap. It all felt too little too late, but the England U21 did not disappoint - getting on the end of a Leif David cross and ahead of Ethan Pinnock to toe in past Flekken.

There were other chances for the Bees. Wissa was thwarted in a one v one on the keeper. Nathan Collins lashed over from close in following a corner. But there was to be one more twist with the Mbeumo decider. Even then we almost had yet another, as Delap struck a post at the death. Why he wasn't on from the start was anyone's guess.

The Gtech is turning into quite the place for goals. And for Brentford, it's crucially proving to be the place for points.
