Brentford head coach Thomas Frank was pleased to avoid an FA Cup replay on Saturday after a 1-0 defeat to Leicester and thinks the rematches are killing the competition. “I love the FA Cup, I think it is a fantastic tournament and I love that England have two cup tournaments – one of the only countries in the world. “I think that is part of killing one of the finest cup tournaments in the world. Despite this, Leicester managed to triumph and in the process ensured Griffin Park hosted FA Cup football for the last time, with Brentford moving into a new stadium during the summer. “Obviously they will move on from here and with this the last FA Cup tie, it was really special to be here.
