Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard praised Mathias Jensen after he struck in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Norgaard hailed his Denmark colleague Jensen after the midfielder scored for the fourth time in five home games.

He's taken more responsibility," said Norgaard. With Christian [Eriksen] leaving, there was a gap to be filled.

He's been brilliant ever since the pre-season started in Germany. Credit to him. Hopefully he can keep it up."

Norgaard also praised Mikkel Damsgaard the third Dane in Brentford's midfield three.

You're starting to see his improvement," Norgaard added.

He did really well against Fulham and today there were definitely some moments where he showed the quality that we know he has.

We haven't seen the best of him yet, but he's slowly progressing to the player that we know he is."
