Striker Michael Grella says Brentford's 6-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy thrashing of AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday was a night to remember for everyone - not just himself.

The former Leeds United frontman bagged four as boss Uwe Rosler's men remained on course for a second Wembley appearance in as many seasons - particularly with no League One side's remaining in the southern half of the draw.

And Grella, whose goals added to Sam Saunders' early opener and Shaleum Logan's deflected second half effort, admitted he was delighted to break his Bees duck in such style.

"It was a very good night, the team won and - especially at home - we put on quite a show. It was excellent," he said.

"It was good just to play, but also to score. I'm pleased with the goals and I'm pleased the team won. I couldn't have asked for a better night."
