Brentford head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen was relieved to score a late equaliser against Ipswich Town, but believes his side deserved the point.

The Bees were 2-0 down to Mick McCarthy's side, but goals from Andre Gray and James Tarkowski in injury time ensured that both sides shared the day's spoils.

Dijkhuizen told the club's website: "I think we were too much kick and rush in the first half.

"For the first goal, there was a scrimmage, and the ball came back in. The goal wasn't a surprise to me.

"We put more strikers on. That was the only option. We created more pressure, especially Gray's running at them. We created a lot of chances in the last 30 minutes and when we finally scored I thought it was too late but we deserved a draw."

Brentford face Oxford United in the League Cup on Tuesday night.
