The Dane said: “Well done. Never take winning in the Premier League for granted; it’s been a very, very, very dominant game in many ways.
“But we created a lot of chances, opportunities and then scored five goals.”
Frank continued: “Of course we have to defend better if we look at it. We don’t give away much, we give away less than against West Ham and we conceded three goals.
“That is also football. But let’s use it as a big, big indicator. Let’s take all the positives into account. I like it, I like it, keep the music going, guys!
One fan commented on social media: “He’s so good at that, making an average Brentford look like a super team!”
Another tweeted: “Very calm and pointing out the errors that need to be checked.”
A third fan added: “He is such a good and underrated coach, he will definitely coach a bigger team soon.”
Someone else wrote: “This is huge morale booster talk.”

A fifth said: “This is the epitome of a great coach. Understands that they won the match, but not as convincingly as the result suggests, brings his players back down to earth and then lets them celebrate.’
As a result of the victory, Brentford climbed to ninth place in the Premier League.
Frank said after the match: “Offensive, wow! Incredible. It seems like every time we went forward we created a chance. Our set pieces were also such a threat. Defensively, I am especially angry about the first goal. We can and must do better.”
