The Brazilian striker's brace takes his season tally to 21 goals, earning massive praise from boss Keith Andrews.
Igor Thiago is on absolute fire this season, and his latest heroics against Everton proved exactly why Brentford manager Keith Andrews can't stop singing his praises. The Brazilian marksman netted twice in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, pushing his remarkable season tally to 21 goals and keeping the Bees flying high in the Premier League.
Andrews was full of admiration for his star striker after the match, describing Thiago as being in an "amazing place" mentally and physically. The manager's glowing assessment comes as no surprise given the 25-year-old's consistent ability to find the back of the net when his team needs it most. Thiago's clinical finishing and intelligent movement have made him one of the most feared forwards in English football this campaign.
The draw against Everton showcased exactly why Thiago has become such a vital cog in Brentford's machine. His first goal came from a perfectly timed run into the box, while his second demonstrated the kind of predatory instincts that separate good strikers from great ones. Even when the Toffees fought back to level the score, Thiago's impact on the game remained undeniable.
With more than half the season still to play, Thiago's goal-scoring exploits continue to turn heads across the Premier League. His rise mirrors the growing influence of South American talent in English football, joining a proud tradition of Brazilian strikers who have lit up the world's most watched league. If he maintains this blistering pace, a 30-goal season could well be within reach.
