🇧🇷 Eyeing the Cup, Igor Thiago goes clear with Premier League goal record! | OneFootball

Forward Igor Thiago has been improving his individual numbers in his second season in the Premier League.

The Brazilian scored Brentford’s two goals against Everton this Saturday (11).

The match, however, ended in a 2-2 draw.

With the feat, he reached the unprecedented mark of 21 goals in the top flight of English football.

A number never before achieved by a Brazilian in a single edition of the competition.

It is worth noting, however, that Thiago had already secured the all-time record even before the round began.

The forward already had four more goals than the players tied for second on the all-time list: Matheus Cunha, Gabriel Martinelli, and Roberto Firmino, all with 15 goals each.

Now the gap is already six.

He also became only the third player in Brentford’s history to score more than 20 Premier League goals in a single season: after Ivan Toney in 2022/23 and Bryan Mbeumo in 2024/25.

Numbers that make the 24-year-old forward a strong candidate to keep dreaming of a call-up for the World Cup.

It is worth remembering that Igor Thiago was one of the biggest surprises in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad list for the March 2026 international break.

The player featured for almost twenty minutes in Brazil’s 2-1 defeat to France, and thirty minutes in the 3-1 win over Croatia, even scoring Brazil’s second goal in that match.

So, what do you think? Do you believe Igor Thiago will be called up for the World Cup? Comment below!
