THE LIGHTS went out on Thomas Frank’s interview – just after his side found their shine once again.
The Brentford boss, 48, was doing his post-match interview in the tunnel on Saturday afternoon after beating Burnley.
But the chat with BBC Sport suddenly hit the buffers when someone hit the switch.
The Danish gaffer was well into his flow with an answer when he was plunged into darkness.
After a few moments of stunned silence and plenty of umming and ageing, an unseen production crew member intervened.
She helpfully stated: “The light’s gone.”

Eriksen sets up Toney TWICE in great display to win relegation clash
Then added: “Can we borrow the light?”
After a bit of faffing behind the camera, Frank’s face appeared as the substitute bright light saved the day.
As the reporter tried to continue the interview, he could not find his words with Frank quipping: “You lost it there.”
But his men certainly did not lose it.

CHELTENHAM BETTING SPECIAL – GET £60 IN FREE BETS FOR THE RACING WITH PADDY POWER
Ivan Toney followed up his hat-trick at Norwich last week with another two against fellow relegation rivals Burnley.
Christian Eriksen was involved in both goals – scored in the 85th and 94th minutes.
The crucial three points saw Brentford move nine points clear of the drop zone.
However, only Manchester United match their tally of 29 games played this season.
