Alan Judge brace downs 10-man Notts County

Alan Judge bagged a brace to help Brentford record a comfortable 3-1 victory over Notts County at Griffin Park this afternoon.

Nothing could separate the sides on the half-hour mark until defender Haydn Hollis was red-carded for a foul on Clayton Donaldson inside the box.

Forshaw kept his composure to fire the Bees into the lead, before Judge doubled the advantage shortly before the break by slotting home an Alan McCormack pass from close range.

Mark Warburton's charges further capitalised on their numerical advantage after the Irishman added a third shortly after the break.

Bartosz Bialkowski was forced into two saves in quick succession from Toumani Diagouraga before Judge fired home his brace on 52 minutes.

Shaun Derry's men registered a consolation through James Spencer, who cleverly dinked over goalkeeper David Button on 84 minutes, but it was not to be foundations of a miraculous comeback as the full-time whistle later sounded.
