Brentford’s forward Igor Thiago is on the verge of breaking a Premier League record following his latest goal in the league.
The Bees took an early advantage against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Thiago once again finding the back of the net.

The Brazilian skillfully maneuvered between two Everton defenders and was successfully located by a perfectly timed cross, which he converted for the visitors.
Thiago has now tallied 12 goals for the season as they approach the midway point.
The record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian in a single Premier League season is currently held at 15, shared by Matheus Cunha, Gabriel Martinelli, and Roberto Firmino.
Moreover, only three players have outscored him this season across Europe’s top five leagues: Haaland (19), Kane (19), and Mbappé (18), as reported by StatMuse.
With nearly half of the season still ahead, will the Brentford striker manage to set a new record? It seems quite possible!
