Igor Thiago continued his superb season at Brentford with two goals in the club’s 3-0 win over Sunderland.
An emphatic win for Keith Andrews’ side took Brentford up to fifth in the Premier League table, just a point outside the guaranteed Champions League places.
Thiago was on target twice in the win, with Yehor Yarmolyuk adding a third for the Bees. The former’s double followed a hat-trick at Everton at the weekend and extended his record to 16 goals in the Premier League so far this season.
The 24-year-old has now set a new record as the highest-scoring Brazilian in a single Premier League season.
He’s eclipsed the previous 15-goal record, held jointly by Roberto Firmino (Liverpool, 2017/18), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal, 2022/23) and Matheus Cunha (Wolves, 2024/25).
