How Brentford made it to the Premier League

Everybody loves an underdog, especially Brentford FC. 

The football club have never played in the top tier of English football since the end of World War Two. They had never played in the second division since 1993, where they were narrowly relegated.

But last year, the bees defied the odds and became a Premier League club, where they would compete against giants such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and many more.

This is how they did it.

So, how are Brentford coping in the Premier League?

Currently, they are currently 14th in their first year at the top. They beat Arsenal (in their first game), drew against Liverpool in a six goal thriller, Thomas Frank is doing well as manager and Christian Eriksen has joined the club (surviving a heart attack during a match at EURO 2020).

But who knows what will happen. Can Brentford survive or will they drop back into the Championship. Let's see if the bees can sting their enemies and witness history in the making.
