Igor Thiago Double Lifts Brentford Past Burnley 3-1

Eighth-placed Brentford defeated 19th-placed Burnley 3-1 at Brentford Community Stadium in a dramatic Premier League encounter that saw all four goals scored in the final ten minutes. The victory extended Brentford's advantage over the relegation zone while leaving Burnley still searching for consistency in their fight for survival.

Igor Thiago opened the scoring in the 81st minute, converting a penalty with his right foot to the bottom left corner after Dango Ouattara was fouled by Axel Tuanzebe in the penalty area. Burnley responded immediately through Zian Flemming, who leveled the match in the 85th minute by converting a penalty with his right foot to the bottom right corner after Jaidon Anthony was fouled by Michael Kayode. Thiago restored Brentford's lead just one minute later, firing a left-footed shot from the left side of the six-yard box to the top left corner. Dango Ouattara sealed the victory in the 90th minute plus two, striking a left-footed shot from the center of the box to the center of the goal following a Jordan Henderson assist on a fast break.

Brentford dominated possession with 52.1 percent and registered 14 shots compared to Burnley's six attempts. The Bees created numerous opportunities throughout the match, with both teams recording one save each as goalkeepers were tested sporadically.

The match remained goalless for 80 minutes despite Brentford's territorial advantage and multiple corner kicks. Both sides struggled to convert chances in a cagey encounter, with Brentford missing several headers from close range while Burnley's best opportunity came through a Zian Flemming effort saved by Caoimhín Kelleher in the first half. The game exploded into life in the final stages as both teams committed players forward in search of crucial points.

Brentford will next host Arsenal on December 3, while Burnley travel to face Crystal Palace on December 3.
