LONDON (Reuters) - Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard got the goals as Brentford stunned Arsenal 2-0 in the opening game of the Premier League season on Friday but manager Thomas Frank said the home fans deserved the man-of-the-match award.

"I know after the play-off final there were a lot of proud people, a lot of tears. It’s been a long journey," Frank said of the London club that lost in the playoffs nine times before finally cracking it last season.
