Bryan Mbeumo failed in his attempt to become the second player to score in six consecutive London derbies in the Premier League after Arsenal's Thierry Henry. . The Bees had now drawn 18 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2022; the most in division except for Crystal Palace (20).

Comments:

League position: 10th . Crystal Palace failed in their attempt to win their opening two away games in a season in the top division for a third time after 1997-98 and 2015-16 in the Premier League. .
