🦁 Premier League Player of the Week: Life of Bryan | OneFootball

This was the weekend that Leicester confirmed their relegation and the race for the final Champions League places went thermonuclear.

But our Premier League Player of the Week is ...

In the 30 plus-year history of the Premier League we've seen some incredible strike partnerships.

From Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole to Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah, the English top flight has been littered with brilliant twosomes.

This season though, one pair has shone above all others to keep their side in the hunt for an unlikely European place come the end of the term.

That's Bryan Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa who once again showed their undoubted class against Brighton this past weekend.

Seeing as this is the 'Player' of the week rather than 'Players', it's Mbeumo who is going to get our love, but it really does seem perverse to separate them at this point.

The Bees duo were on deadly form as the Seagulls came to west London on Saturday and were roundly trounced 4-1.

Both men found the back of the net with Wissa setting up Mbeumo's second and the Cameroon international returning the favour soon after.

It meant both scored during the same game for the seventh time this term, closing in on an unlikely Premier League record.

Salah and Roberto Firmino (2018/19) and Salah and Mané (2021/22) are the current holders of the 'games scored in by team mates during a single season' record with 10.

It may not come with a gold medal or certificate but it is an indication of how in-tune these players are with one another - something that Brentford boss Thomas Frank knows only too well.

"That's an incredible achievement from the two of them," Frank told the BBC after the win.

"When you consistently over the past six seasons have produced top scorers, that must be something we're doing right.

"I'm happy that Mbeumo is shining and is the main man now for us. But I think it's a duo.

"Wissa is fantastic. He has scored actually more open-play goals than Brian. But Brian is the penalty taker, unbelievable at penalties, assists, work ethic, an unbelievable player."

With five games to go and just three points off eighth-place Bournemouth, Frank and his staff will be hoping they can get even more out of the club's terrific two.
