BrentfordThree crosses in away draw
Jensen generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.
Analysis: Jensen attempted three crosses as his side drew 0-0 to Bournemouth. With two corners in this game he has continued his run as the main set-piece taker for Brentford. He completed two crosses for the fourth game in a row and attempted at least three in each of the last five.
Nine crosses in home win
Jensen registered one shot (one on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 4-3 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Jensen registered nine crosses as Brentford won the match 4-3. The midfielder has been the main set-piece taker for Brentford this season and took six more corners in this game. He has provided one assist so far this year. He has only attempted more crosses once this season. He also hasn't attempted more corners in any other game this year.
Key assist in win
Jensen assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Jensen's critical pass established the framework for the final and decisive goal of the fixture Saturday as Brentford earned a dramatic 3-2 victory at Newcastle. The midfielder led the Brentford attack with four shot attempts (one on goal) and tracked back to add one tackle (one won) to the defensive effort. After making just four starts across Brentford's first 16 league fixtures, Jensen has been named in the starting XI in eight of their last nine league matches.
Records one shot
Jensen had one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Jensen was responsible for one shot Sunday but would miss the target on his one attempt, still with only two goals all season. He remains a regular sight in the midfield for the club, with nine starts across their past 10 games, although he remains with only two goal contributions in league play all season.
Six crosses in loss
Jensen registered six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Jensen, who started the previous two matches, was back on the bench Saturday. He replaced Mikkel Damsgaard in the 61st minute and had a busy shift, recording six crosses and three corners in just 29 minutes of action. He was not very effective despite the volume though as he failed to record an accurate cross or create a chance.
Struggles in service
Jensen registered four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-0 loss against Arsenal.
Analysis: The midfielder only had one accurate cross but did his best to try to put Brentford back into the match. Jensen should have a favorable matchup against Tottenham, a side which has given up 18 goals in 14 matches.
Finds back of net in win
Jensen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 2-0 victory versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Jensen sealed the match in stoppage time with the second goal, finishing from close range to make it 2-0. It was the second time in his last three appearances that Jensen has scored off the bench during a one-minute-long spell for the Bees. Jensen has taken on a supersub role this season and seems to be doing well in that aspect recently, which could make the coach consider starting him in upcoming fixtures.
Nets in brief appearance
Jensen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Manchester United.
Analysis: Jensen subbed into the match in the 90th minute of play to replace Igor Thiago, and miraculously managed to make the score sheet in such limited time. He came up with his squad's third goal of the match, as he buried a shot from outside the box, assisted by Yehor Yamolyuk five minutes into extra time. This marked his fourth appearance of the campaign and the second time he came off the bench.
Back in starting XI
Jensen started and played the full 90 during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup.
Analysis: Jensen started the season opener in the Premier League, but fell back to the bench against Aston Villa. He returned to the starting XI for Tuesday's clash in the Carabao Cup and played well. He's likely going to be a depth option, but he will have the opportunity for more minutes in defensive midfield after the departure of Christian Norgaard to Arsenal.
