Image source, Getty ImagesHaving seen their side collect more points in their last 10 Premier League games than any other team in the division, Brentford fans could have been forgiven for expecting another routine home victory against out-of-sorts Brighton.
The Bees supporters were left disappointed however as Keith Andrews' team missed the chance to move above Liverpool ahead of the champions' trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Thiago perhaps should have given the hosts the lead after expertly controlling Jordan Henderson's lofted pass in the first half, but a Brentford goal at that stage would have flattered the Brentford boss and his players.
Andrews introduced Kevin Schade and Yehor Yarmoliuk at half-time in a bid to inject some much-needed energy and invention into his side, but there was little improvement from the hosts in the second half.
Damsgaard failed to trouble Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen with a tame lob late in the second half, while Dango Ouattara hooked a shot over the crossbar following a free-kick.
Verbruggen also produced a fine save late on to prevent Joel Veltman turning a low cross into his own net, but there was little else for the home fans to shout about as Brentford slipped to just their third home league defeat of the campaign.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews speaking to Match of the Day: "I thought first half we didn't reach the levels we have done pretty consistently. We have been performing at a high level and today we didn't do that. Second half was a big improvement. We showed a lot in the second half. We couldn't quite take the opportunity early enough that would cause them problems. Overall it's a disappointing day."
On Nathan Collins' error: "Mistakes are part and parcel of the game. I'm ok with things like that, as long as we learn from why we have performed like we did in the first half and continue to grow as a group."
On what he said to players after the game: "My overall message was we have been the best team in this league for the last 10 games and 45 minutes of football won't define what we have done or what we will do going forward."

In-form Brentford continue their unexpected push for European qualification on Saturday (15:00 GMT) when they host a Brighton side sliding down the league table.
Current Premier League pacesetters
Two points off the top six and into the FA Cup fifth round for only the second time in 20 seasons, Brentford are making a mockery of last summer's widespread predictions of struggle.
A deserved draw against league leaders Arsenal in their most recent top-flight fixture means Brentford have earned 20 points from their past 10 matches – the most of any side, with the Gunners and both Manchester clubs a point behind.
In doing so, Brentford have doubled their tally for the season to 40 points. That's just one adrift of their highest figure after 26 Premier League games, set in 2022-23 when they ended the campaign with a club record of 59 points.
This season's form has been underpinned by having the division's sixth-best home record. In fact, last April's 4-2 victory over Brighton started a run of 31 points from their past 16 league matches at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Goal-shy Albion
In contrast to Saturday's hosts, Brighton are out of the FA Cup and horribly out of form. Their only win in 13 Premier League games since December came against Burnley, with no side managing fewer victories during that period.
Last weekend's FA Cup exit against Liverpool was a third straight defeat without scoring. Brighton failed to take their chances during that tie, with Diego Gomez and Lewis Dunk both spurning good opportunities to equalise at Anfield.
Albion are too often struggling to mount an attacking threat. In Premier League games this season, they are averaging 13 shots, four shots on target and 27 touches in the opposition penalty area – all their lowest averages since 2021-22.
Milner time?
On a more welcome note, 40-year-old James Milner could make an outright record 654th Premier League appearance, surpassing Gareth Barry's mark. Milner's top-flight debut in November 2002 came a day after Brentford lost away to Crewe in the third tier.
If he plays, Milner might finally face the only person with at least 100 Premier League appearances during the past 24 seasons who he has never played with or against – Brentford defender Nathan Collins.
I covered Brentford in the FA Cup tie at Macclesfield on Monday and they were completely underwhelming.
I know they were on a plastic pitch but they couldn't really find their flow and needed an own goal to progress.
Still, the Bees have been in much better form in the Premier League - in stark contrast to Brighton.
Fabian Hurzeler's side have won only one of their past 13 league games in a poor run going back to the start of December, and it is not impossible they could get dragged into the relegation scrap.
I can see this one being close but Brentford will have Kevin Schade back from suspension, while Igor Thiago will also return after being rested against Macclesfield - and those two should make the difference.
Sutton's prediction: 1-0
Flora Snelson
BBC Sport journalist
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Andrews' squad is in "a pretty good place" and he has no fresh injury concerns.
His Macclesfield dressing room visit "wasn't planned" but Andrews felt it was "the right thing to do".
On the talk around his Macclesfield gesture: "I think it's a bit sad that you do something a bit nice or normal... Obviously, I wasn't aware that there's a camera in the dressing room. It's more of an indictment of where we are if we think that's something as out of the ordinary. I wouldn't, personally."
When asked whether breaking the Bees' Premier League points record is achievable, he said: "I don't know, I just know that we have a group that are very, very hungry to achieve and want to strive and get better."
On Brighton: "I have a lot of respect for Fabian [Hurzeler]. There's a lot of fine margins in games, their results probably haven't been fair, overall. It's going to be a tricky game and we'll have to earn the result."
On James Milner, who could break the all-time Premier League appearance record on Saturday: "It's been staggering, the longevity, the quality, the level of clubs he's played at and his impact."
On how Andrews has united his players: "I'm not a very good gardener, but it's like your garden - you've got to take care of it, you can't take it for granted. Communicate, treat people with respect, have standards. I don't think it's common to have the dressing room that we have."
On his relationship with club owner Matthew Benham: "Matt is an amazing person. He's ultimately a fan who wants his club to do well. Our communication is pretty consistent, I enjoy his company. He's certainly not an over-imposing owner, he has a simple way of doing things - common sense is prevalent here. We speak very openly about where we're at and where we want to get to."

Got a question about Brentford? Get in touch here and we'll put it to our experts
Simon Stone
Chief football news reporter

The decision to appoint Keith Andrews sums things up neatly.
Externally it was viewed as a high-risk move, but internally it was seen as one of the lower-risk options.
Club sources are wary of shouting about their success from the rooftops because nothing is certain in football, but their reasoning around Andrews taking over was rock solid.
Firstly, he was already at the club. Senior staff knew him, they knew his strengths and weaknesses and what they were likely to get. He knew them. He understood the club model and had already bought into it.
What Brentford do not want is a new manager who comes into the club and starts telling everyone what they view as the best way to run it.
Brentford have a well-established model that has brought them success. There was no desire or intention to deviate from it. Having Andrews at the helm brought the continuity that guarded against a dramatic collapse.
That is not to say Andrews' presence is an irrelevance. On the contrary, the belief is he has done an excellent job and if he had not, the evidence would be clear.
However, he has slotted into a well-established machine.
Contrast that with Thomas Frank at Tottenham, who followed on from Ange Postecoglou, Antonio Conte, Nuno Espirito Santo and Jose Mourinho.
It is fair to ask whether all those individuals failed through faults of their own - or did they struggle because of the lack of a wider strategy, given all five men approach the game in a different way?
The expectations at Brentford - who host Brighton on Sunday - are also totally different compared to Tottenham.
Frank took over a side that had just won a major European competition and had ambitions to return to the level that produced 11 top-five finishes in the past 16 seasons.
Brentford, by contract, are already operating at a level higher than they have been for virtually their entire existence.
No club should be swayed by external noise, but it is easier when the messages coming back are supportive rather than hostile.
Even after a tricky start to the season, when Brentford collected just four points from their opening five games and were 17th, fans were minded to trust those running the club rather than turn their ire on them.
Common sense, perhaps.
But if it was that easy, everyone would do it. Wouldn't they?
Image source, Getty ImagesMichael Kayode's long throw has become something of a footballing landmark over recent months, but the Brentford defender might rarely have felt nerves or pressure quite like a throw-in launched at an empty net at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Kayode, 21, used the novelty of his long throw to reveal the sex of his baby, while his partner watched on.
As the ball hits the net, fireworks blast from the crossbar, while pink-coloured smoke signifies a baby girl is on her way.
Kayode posted the video on Instagram and wrote:, external "We can't wait to see you! It's a dream come true to have been able to make all this happen in a stadium and with a club that mean so much to me!"
Vitaly Janelt replied the baby would be the "next throw-in generation", while Brentford and a host of the club's players wished the full-back and his partner congratulations.
If the 2025-26 season brought direct football back into fashion, Kayode's video and the baby girl who follows may just prove to be landmark moments in this long throw era.

Image source, Getty ImagesI'm writing this column on an early train back from Macclesfield on Tuesday reflecting on two more great results for Brentford.
To follow up the superb wins at Aston Villa and Newcastle with a creditable draw against Arsenal and progress in the FA Cup shows how well we're doing.
We could have beaten the Gunners as we definitely had the better chances, but I'd have taken a point before the game, so am not disappointed.
I was fascinated to see how we'd do after those away wins because Arsenal are on another level, but we more than matched them.
Even Mikel Arteta, a critic of Brentford in the past, gave us some post-match praise.
The FA Cup tie at Macclesfield was a completely different challenge and one I was delighted we treated professionally.
We trained on a 4G pitch and also went to the ground at lunchtime on Monday to have a look, rather than waiting until arriving for the match.
Keith Andrews also sent someone to watch the Silkmen's last league game against Leamington, so was leaving nothing to chance.
His line-up reflected that with a vastly experienced defence and first-choice midfield, with the only experimentation in goal and up front.
We may have made seven changes from the Arsenal game but statistics don't always tell the whole story, as we fielded a strong team and not a load of kids.
Yes, we made hard work of it and needed an own goal to go through but - and this is a reason not an excuse - we struggled with the pitch at times despite our preparation.
Macclesfield also defended well - although had few chances, so I never felt we'd lose it.
I can't believe we've been drawn away yet again, however.
Hopefully West Ham will have their focus elsewhere - and at least no early-morning trains or overnight stays needed!

Own goal helps Brentford end Macclesfield's FA Cup run
We asked for your views on Brentford's 1-0 win at Macclesfield in the FA Cup fourth round on Monday.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: The main objective was to win, without getting any injuries. Throughout my life, I have always said cup football is a great leveller. Credit to Macclesfield for making it difficult for Brentford.
George: They all count! Thankfully we were pre-warned by Crystal Palace's woes and put out a team up to the task of seeing this one out. A solid second half followed a hairy first - off to West Ham we go.
Jerry: Poor in the first half, which is no surprise given the nature of a synthetic pitch. But all credit to the Silkmen - you played very well. But we were much better in the second half, possibly after getting used to the pitch and the opposition tiring as the game went on. A pity it was an own goal that settled it - but that's football, I guess. Ally McCoist got it spot on for man of the match. Nice to see the new young forward get a run out, but I would have preferred to have seen Igor Thiago on the bench just in case.
Steve: Good win but a lacklustre performance, with nowhere near the intensity that we showed against Arsenal. Macclesfield made it very difficult for us and deserve the credit. A win's a win - especially when all would have liked the underdogs to win.
David: Gritty performance by Macclesfield with a lot of skill. Brentford made hard work of it but ultimately got the job done. Phew!
Sami: It was a tough game but glad Brentford did enough on the day to progress. Great to see a few of our new signings and younger players on the pitch too, which also gave much of out starting XI time to rest for our push for Europe in the league.
HerzyBee: When the going gets tough, the tough let an own goal settle the tie. Awful conditions, not a match for the purists, job done.
Image source, Getty ImagesKeith Andrews' Macclesfield counterpart John Rooney has praised the Brentford boss' "unbelievable touch" of visiting the non-league side's dressing room after knocking them out of the FA Cup.
The sixth-tier side claimed a historic victory over Premier League Crystal Palace on their dream cup run, but the Bees brought it to an end with a 1-0 victory at Moss Rose on Monday, courtesy of an agonising second-half own goal.
Rooney, the younger brother of former England captain Wayne, was delighted with the efforts of his team. "I couldn't be any prouder. Days like this are why you are involved," he said.
"It's an unbelievable touch by their manager to come into our dressing room after full-time.
"He spoke highly of us - of myself and the players - and the thing he saw was a real togetherness we had about us."
Andrews, whose side will face West Ham away in the next round, said that coming face to face with National League North side Macclesfield had been emotional.
"I've a lot of respect for the way they play and the spirit they have - it was very impressive," he said.
"I love the English football pyramid. I've played in a lot of it and I've coached in a lot of it. I love what it stands for.
"This club is on a really good journey and I love stories like that. It fills my heart.
"They were immense and they gave us a proper cup tie that most people would have enjoyed... but I can't say I did!"

Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford's visit to Moss Rose in this potentially hazardous tie was always going to be a case of get the job done and go home - and eventually that was the outcome.
This was not, however, an impressive performance, with the narrow scoreline barely reflecting the difference between the teams on the night.
Brentford were grateful to grab the gift of Sam Heathcote's own goal to see them through, but for an edgy period in the first half it looked like boss Keith Andrews might pay an embarrassing price for fielding a much-changed team.
The Bees were sloppy in possession and hurried out of their stride as Macclesfield Town applied pressure, but in the end Brentford came through, avoiding the sort of humbling defeat suffered by Crystal Palace.
It is victory, by whatever margin, that counts in the FA Cup - but Brentford and Andrews will not reflect on this night with any degree of satisfaction.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews, who went into the Macclesfield dressing room after the game to congratulate their players, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "That was always going to be a real test. They have a great spirit in the way they play. It was never going to be easy. I don't think we did the basics well enough in the first half and then in the second half we did it very well.
"We controlled it a bit better, got into better positions and eventually wore them down. I have a lot of respect for them and how they play. It is a tough place to come.
"I am a big fan of the football pyramid and these are always going to be difficult places to come. Tough test to navigate, but we came through it."
Brentford captain Nathan Collins, speaking to TNT Sports: "It doesn't matter who you are playing against, you need to get the job done. Macclesfield could beat anyone on any day.
"If we can top it off with a cup run, then that would be great. Our fans deserve it.
"Credit to Macclesfield. They made it extremely hard for us. They put up a great fight and they deserve credit for that."
