Brentford secured a thrilling 4-2 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, with Brazilian striker Igor Thiago's clinical hat-trick delivering a decisive performance in an electrifying Premier League encounter. The match erupted with moments of individual brilliance and late-game drama that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Thiago opened the scoring early, striking in the 11th minute to set the tone for Brentford's attacking masterclass. Nathan Collins extended the visitors' lead shortly after halftime, with Thiago quickly adding his second goal in the 51st minute. Everton responded through Beto's determined strike in the 66th minute, briefly reigniting home hopes.
