Solomon Rondon - 6: Great turn to get himself space in box soon after Bees opener but Fernandez blocked his shot. Headed tough chance wide in last 10 minutes. Still striving for fitness and sharpness but a better show today even with service at a minimum. Getty
BRENTFORD RATINGS: Alvaro Fernandez - 7: Important stop from Rondon in the first half but no other serious saves to make. Needs to work on kicking skills, though, which were erratic at times. Reuters
Charlie Goode - 6: First Premier League start and decent game although lucky not to concede a penalty just before break. More luck just after half-time when caught in possession but Rondon couldn’t capitalise. Has a dangerous long-throw in his armoury. Reuters
Pontus Jansson - 6: The Bees captain was too easily beaten by Rondon’s turn but rescued by his goalkeeper. Harsh booking in second half for telling Digne in no uncertain terms to get up off the floor. PA
Ethan Pinnock - 7: Headed chance from long throw straight at Pickford just before half-hour mark and was the regular target for balls into the Everton box. Helped keep Rondon relatively quiet. PA
Frank Onyeka - 6: Kicked in the face by Townsend to earn the Bees a penalty and opening goal after referee reviewed incident. Booked for clipping heels of Gordon. Reuters
SUBS: Shandon Baptiste – (On for Norgaaard 70’) 5: Nothing of note after coming on as Brentford struggled to keep possession in second half. Reuters
Yoane Wissa – (On for Canos 87’) N/A. One weak shot straight at goalkeeper. PA
Seamus Coleman - 7: Good performance from the Everton captain. One surging run and cross after the break that eventually landed in front of Rondon whose volley was blocked. PA
Michael Keane - 7: Assured game from the centre-half who, along with defensive partner Godfrey, helped keep threat of Toney and Mbeumo well under control. Reuters
Lucas Digne - 6: One poor header in first half gifted chance to Mbuemo that he wasted and one woeful free-kick from distance that went high and wide. Annoyed Brentford fans with what they perceived as play-acting after break. Reuters
Allan - 7: Brazilian seemed to welcome having Doucoure back alongside him in midfield. Worked hard defensively and offensively. Like Everton in general, though not in the form showed at start of season. Reuters
Alex Iwobi - 5: Nice interchange of passes with Gordon to set-up Rondon’s big first-half chance. First-time shot straight at keeper on the hour mark but produced little else. PA
