Igor Thiago hat-trick punishes sorry Everton as Brentford overtake them in table
Igor Thiago finds himself in “pretty esteemed company” according to Brentford’s head coach, Keith Andrews, after the striker dismantled Everton with a cool and clinical hat-trick. The same will be true of Brentford themselves should this emphatic victory herald the end of their troubled away form.
Only Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane have scored more goals than the Brazilian across Europe’s top five leagues after he reached 14 for the season at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
