"The recruitment team deserve a lot of praise for the type of players they bring in and personalities. It is really impressive. He is a really special person who has fitted into life very nicely. He has had to earn this path. He has earned his journey and grafted. He has got serious grit about his personality. He is developing his skill set constantly, and we are learning more and more about him."
"He is a pretty complete centre-forward. We played Bournemouth a couple of weeks ago and he didn't score but he was sensational. Goals are always something you are judged on as a striker, and it is fair to say on that front, he is having a special season as well."
Igor Thiago scored twice as Brentford beat Sunderland 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium, increasing his Premier League tally to 16 goals. Yehor Yarmoliuk scored his first goal for the club to complete the victory. Sunderland had a chance to level after Brian Brobbey was fouled by Kristoffer Ajer, but Caoimhin Kelleher saved Enzo Le Fee's Panenka. Thiago's 16th goal set a new record for the most Premier League goals by a Brazilian in a single season. Manager Keith Andrews praised recruitment, Thiago's grit and development. Brentford have 33 points from 21 matches and are unbeaten in six league games.
