Mikkel Damsgaard says Brentford are dreaming of Europe after his side's superb 4-0 win at Leicester City moves the Bees only four points off the top seven.
Damsgaard played a key role, assisting the first two goals, taking his tally to 10 for the season, the outright most by a Brentford player in a single campaign in the Premier League.

"We are of course dreaming a little but we know how tough it is to sneak in so we take it one game at a time. We are dreaming of Europe," Damsgaard said.
"It is very nice we can get the away wins, now we just need to get the home wins and add it together.
"We are in a good spot as a team right now, so it is amazing to finally get the two wins in a row. We knew if we played a good match we had a very good chance to win. The most important thing was our attitude."
Damsgaard's team-mate Yoane Wisssa also says Brentford can qualify for Europe, as he added: "Why not? We just need to keep winning, that is the aim. We can aim for top 10 and after that let's see."

Damsgaard is the 'magician of the team'
One of the players who benefitted from Damsgaard's assists was Wissa, who heaped praise on his team-mate for the role he plays in Brentford's attack.
"He is the link from the defender to the striker. He is the magician of the team and we are the finishers. We are happy with him and happy with the team."
"I think I would go as far as saying we have a front four and Damsgaard really gets them going," head coach Thomas Frank added.
"The second goal, a great run from Wissa to open up the space for Bryan and then of course he does the hard work. The way they connect, I think in the front four we have all the abilities you need.
"I think we have been fairly consistent with performances. That ability to win - this is the first two in a row we have done this season which is strange. We are on an upward curve so hopefully we can continue that.
"It is special. It is not easy to win in the Premier League and not easy to win away. It is definitely not easy to win 4-0 away. I have good players, good staff and good leadership."
