"Igor Thiago netted a late double as Brentford beat Burnley 3-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium, where all four goals were scored in 11 frantic minutes. Having missed a last-gasp penalty against Brighton last week, Thiago was once again in the thick of the action in a thrilling conclusion to Saturday's Premier League match. Following a low-key first half, Thiago thought he had given Brentford the lead five minutes after the restart, only to see his effort chalked off for offside."
"Yet Thiago broke the deadlock in the 81st minute, sparking a remarkable finale. After being played through by Mikkel Damsgaard, Dango Ouattara was taken down in the box by Axel Tuanzebe, allowing Thiago to step up and coolly dispatch the resulting spot-kick. However, Burnley were awarded a penalty of their own four minutes later when Jaidon Anthony went to ground, with Zian Flemming slotting into the bottom-right corner."
Igor Thiago scored twice late as Brentford beat Burnley 3-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with all four goals coming in an 11-minute spell. Thiago's opener arrived in the 81st minute from a penalty after Axel Tuanzebe fouled Dango Ouattara following a Mikkel Damsgaard pass. Burnley equalised from the spot through Zian Flemming four minutes later. Thiago restored Brentford's lead shortly after with a near-post finish from a Jordan Henderson cross. Dango Ouattara wrapped up the victory in stoppage time by evading Maxime Esteve and finishing past Martin Dubravka. Thiago reached double figures in the top flight this season.
