A strike each from an unlikely Yeovil Town duo secured the Glovers' second win of the season, as they turned on the style to crush Brentford.

Captain Craig Alcock opened the scoring for the Coca-Cola League One hosts, with a bullet header from a first-half corner. The goal was his first of the campaign and just the second of the defender's professional career.

Winger Andy Welsh then scored the vital winner after the break, ending a two-year goal drought and capitalising on good skill from Gavin Tomlin.

The win ended a nine-game run without a victory in all competitions for Yeovil, leaving manager Terry Skiverton purring over his team's passing and new formation.

Loan-signing Shaun MacDonald started his second spell at Huish Park in a holding role in midfield alongside Jean-Paul Kalala.This allowed Ryan Mason to play a more advanced role, with Welsh to his left and Gavin Tomlin on the right.

Skiverton said: "The change in formation has helped us, along with bringing Shaun MacDonald in.Having Ryan in more advanced areas does open up opportunities for us and we did look really strong defensively.

"I know that when I was a player that if the luck is not going for you you had to work hard and stick to the basic principles, trying to get the better of your man in one-on-one battles and I felt that today we came out on top because of that philosophy.

"I felt that today the team really passed well and passed well out from the back."

Both sides started hesitantly, but the Glovers had an obvious edge that nearly resulted in a goal after 16 minutes. Sam Williams received a corner unmarked at the far post. His shot possessed venom but struck a hapless Terrell Forbes, spinning out for a goal-kick.

Nine minutes later, Yeovil were ahead, converting a corner that was earned by a dangerous Tomlin cross. Alcock's superb connection gave Bees' keeper Nikki Bull no chance and was reminiscent of his manager's former ability from set-pieces.

Brentford showed good character to try and wrestle their way back into the game, with both Charlie MacDonald and Steve Kabba proving a testing strike partnership.

However, the Glovers managed to withhold the pressure and returned for the second half in resurgent mood.Gone was the unsuccessful toil of last week's Southampton performance, which was replaced with a slick passing game.

Williams led the line in attack alone, but worked tirelessly with the able support of an industrious Mason, Welsh and Tomlin. And it was the former Fisher Athletic man that starred in Yeovil's second goal after 52 minutes, with a fine move in the final third that resulted in an incisive through-ball.

Welsh raced on to the pass, thumping past Bull with his weaker right foot. The relief of finally scoring for the Glovers was clear to see as he picked up a booking for ripping off his shirt in front of the Blackthorn Stand.

In comparison, England Under-21 international keeper Alex McCarthy had a quiet afternoon in goal for Yeovil, only called upon for regulation saves.

He was, however, beaten on 74 minutes when defender Sam Wood drilled the ball across the goal, only to be denied by the width of the post.

That was to be Brentford's best chance of the game as the Glovers' defence repelled anything that was thrown at them, while also playing a key role in attacks.

Yeovil are slowly but surely adopting a passing ethos, establishing triangles of players across the pitch and opting for the easy option, rather than raking cross-field passes.

 Skiverton admitted the club cannot get carried away with one win, but at last the Glovers dominated and earned the result they deserved
