# 2024–25 Brentford F.C. season
The 2024–25 [Brentford F.C.](https://www.edgepedia.org/brentford-f-c) season was the club's fourth consecutive campaign in the Premier League, in which the team finished 10th under head coach Thomas Frank, a rise of six places from 16th the previous year.[1](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/club-news-brentford-fc-financial-results-2024-25) • [15](https://res.cloudinary.com/brentford-fc/image/upload/v1770819540/Brentford_FC_Annual_Report_and_Financial_Results_FY25_epvb4k.pdf) The season combined a prolific attack, led by [Bryan Mbeumo](https://www.edgepedia.org/bryan-mbeumo)'s 20 league goals, with a stark split between strong home form at the Gtech Community Stadium and poor away results in the first half of the campaign.[2](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/match-reports-wolverhampton-wanderers-1-brentford-1-premier-league-25-0-2025)

## Pre-season context
Brentford entered the season after a difficult 2023–24 campaign in which they finished 16th, two places above the relegation zone, their lowest finish since promotion to the Premier League in 2021.[8](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4075529) The summer brought significant attacking change. [Ivan Toney](https://www.edgepedia.org/ivan-toney), the club's leading striker, moved on to Al-Ahli, and his intended replacement Igor Thiago, signed for a reported £31 million from Club Brugge, suffered a meniscus injury in his first pre-season match that ruled him out for several months.[9](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/analysis-brentford-bryan-mbeumo-yoane-wissa-kevin-schade-mikkel-damsgaard-premier-league-review) • [8](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4075529) Fabio Carvalho arrived from Liverpool to add creativity.[8](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4075529)
## Premier League campaign
**A strong start at home.** [Brentford](https://www.edgepedia.org/brentford) opened the league season with a 2–0 defeat at Liverpool on 25 August 2024, but quickly established the Gtech Community Stadium as a fortress. Notable home results included a 5–3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in October, a 4–2 win over Newcastle United in December, and a 4–3 win over Ipswich Town.[6](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/matches/mens/results/all/2024-25)
**The finish.** Brentford closed the campaign with a 1–1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 25 May 2025, a point that secured a top-half finish at 10th.[2](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/match-reports-wolverhampton-wanderers-1-brentford-1-premier-league-25-0-2025) The final home match had been a 4–3 win over Manchester United.[6](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/matches/mens/results/all/2024-25)
## Cup competitions
In the [EFL Cup](https://www.edgepedia.org/efl-cup), Brentford beat Colchester United 1–0 in August and Leyton Orient 3–1 in September, then needed a penalty shoot-out to get past Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round on 29 October 2024, winning 5–4 after a 1–1 draw.[6](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/matches/mens/results/all/2024-25) • [12](https://www.11v11.com/teams/brentford/tab/matches/season/2025/) The run ended in the quarter-final with a 3–1 defeat at Newcastle United in December.[6](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/matches/mens/results/all/2024-25)
The [FA Cup](https://www.edgepedia.org/fa-cup) brought a single match: a third-round tie at home to Plymouth Argyle on 11 January 2025, which Brentford lost 0–1 before a crowd of 16,790.[5](https://fbref.com/en/squads/cd051869/2024-2025/matchlogs/all_comps/schedule/Brentford-Scores-and-Fixtures-All-Competitions)
## Attack and key players
**Mbeumo and Wissa.** Bryan Mbeumo reached the 20-goal milestone in the final match at Molineux, becoming only the second player after Ivan Toney to score 20 goals in a Premier League season for Brentford.[2](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/match-reports-wolverhampton-wanderers-1-brentford-1-premier-league-25-0-2025) Yoane Wissa scored 19 league goals, as many as his previous two seasons combined, in a style of play designed at times specifically to place him in scoring positions.[4](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/premier-league-rivals-battling-for-yoane-wissa-and-the-player-wants-to-move-report) Together with Kevin Schade and [Mikkel Damsgaard](https://www.edgepedia.org/mikkel-damsgaard), the front line drove the club's best-ever Premier League goal return, a tally exceeded by only four teams.[9](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/analysis-brentford-bryan-mbeumo-yoane-wissa-kevin-schade-mikkel-damsgaard-premier-league-review) • [7](https://theanalyst.com/articles/premier-league-one-stat-every-club-2024-25-season) Damsgaard contributed 10 league assists.[3](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/brentford-season-preview-202526)
**Set pieces.** Brentford continued to treat free-kicks, throw-ins, and corners as a serious weapon, and the statistics bore out their efficacy from such situations in both attack and defense.[11](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/analysis-brentford-tactical-evolution-adding-layers-premier-league-review)
## Tactical evolution
Frank's side added layers to a style long built on Germanic pressing and drilled counter-attacks, and the club's end-of-season review described a shift in the Bees' football over the campaign.[8](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4075529) • [11](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/analysis-brentford-tactical-evolution-adding-layers-premier-league-review)
## Off the pitch
The club's accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 showed turnover growing to a club record of £173.1m, an increase from £166.5m in 2023/24.[1](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/club-news-brentford-fc-financial-results-2024-25) The season also brought a change in ownership structure, as Matthew Benham transferred his shares into a newly formed holding company, Best Intentions Analytics.[1](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/club-news-brentford-fc-financial-results-2024-25) Beyond the first team, the men's B team reached the final of three competitions and the women's first team achieved a record 21 wins.[1](https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/club-news-brentford-fc-financial-results-2024-25) After the season, Frank left for Tottenham Hotspur, ending a six-and-a-half-year tenure that had delivered the club's highest finish for 85 years.[3](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/brentford-season-preview-202526) • [14](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/hes-taking-over-a-squad-that-were-terrible-last-season-but-have-champions-league-football-its-literally-the-best-opportunity-to-take-over-a-football-club-youve-got-a-team-who-cant-get-any-worse-than-17th-jamie-ohara-on-thomas-frank-at-spurs)
