Igor Thiago scored twice in Brentford’s draw with Everton in Matchday 32 of the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Brazilian opened the scoring for his team in the 3rd minute from the penalty spot, then added a second goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately for him, Kiernan Dusbury Hull equalized for the visitors in the 91st minute, dashing Brentford’s hopes of securing three crucial points.
Igor reached his 21st Premier League goal of the season, becoming the first player to reach that milestone in a single Premier League campaign, surpassing the previous record held by Ivan Toni and Bryan Mbeumo.
Meanwhile, Thiago became the first Brazilian player in history to score 20 or more Premier League goals.
Another battle sparked by Thiago’s performance is the fierce competition for the Premier League Golden Boot, where he is now just one goal behind Erling Haaland, who has 22 goals so far.
Brentford and Everton are tied for seventh place with 47 points each, in a thrilling battle for a European qualification spot next season.
