For Crystal Palace fans there was only one key talking point.
At 0-0, Eberechi Eze caught Brentford keeper Mark Flekken dozing to find the net with a quickly taken free-kick, but referee Sam Barrott had spotted a foul by Will Hughes on Nathan Collins as the set-piece was struck.
With the whistle blown before the ball entered the goal, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was unable to intervene and check Hughes' challenge to potentially overrule the onfield decision.
On reflection, it was probably not a foul which meant Brentford's goal moments later stung even more.
