"More than halfway through the season, Brentford are in dreamland. With four wins in five games, and a Brazilian striker banging in the goals, suddenly Bees fans find themselves drifting off with thoughts of trips to Milan, Munich and Barcelona next season. A comprehensive 3-0 win over Sunderland moved Keith Andrews' side into fifth in the Premier League - a spot that was good enough to secure Champions League football last term."
"Thomas Frank had departed for Tottenham after seven years as head coach, in which time he had not only got the club promoted but also established them in the top flight. Club captain Christian Norgaard left for Arsenal and attacking duo Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa - who scored a combined 39 goals in 2024-25 - were out the door as well, joining Manchester United and Newcastle respectively. Set-piece coach Andrews was promoted to replace Frank, while there was no striker among the summer signings."
More than halfway through the season Brentford sit in the Premier League top five after four wins in five games. A 3-0 victory over Sunderland moved Keith Andrews' side into fifth, with only Arsenal collecting more points over the past six games. Thomas Frank departed for Tottenham and key players Christian Norgaard, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa left in the summer, while set-piece coach Andrews was promoted to head coach and the club made no striker signing. Igor Thiago, signed from Club Brugge in July 2024, overcame an injury-hit debut and now has 16 league goals, a single-season Brazilian record.
