Newcastle fans have called for the club to sack Eddie Howe after their torrid away form continued in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Magpies went into the showdown at the Gtech Community Stadium hoping to secure their first victory on the road of the current campaign.
Their day got off to a positive start, with Harvey Barnes breaking the deadlock in the 27th minute of the match.
Brentford then levelled through Kevin Schade after the interval, while a late brace from Igor Thiago following a Dan Burn red card ensured the home side claim all three points.
