Nathan Collins endured a challenging reunion with his former club, Wolves, as Brentford succumbed to a 3-1 defeat. The Wolves academy product, now Brentford’s club record signing, had a forgettable performance, gifting his old team two goals. The first half saw Mario Lemina open the scoring for the Wolves, with Brentford responding through Yoane Wissa.

However, Collins’ defensive lapses allowed Hwang Hee-Chan to secure his second goal, sealing the victory for Wolves. Thomas Frank’s side, already grappling with a depleted squad, faced their fourth consecutive defeat, intensifying concerns about their Premier League standing. The absence of the suspended Ivan Toney highlighted Brentford’s need for a clinical striker.

Despite Frank’s tactical adjustments, Brentford struggled to find their rhythm, emphasizing the challenges they face in a highly competitive league. As Wolves celebrated a comprehensive win, Collins’ return became a nightmarish episode for Brentford, raising questions about their form and position in the top flight.
