Brentford produced a spirited display to move out of the Premier League relegation zone, defeating Manchester United 3-1 in front of an electrified home crowd. Igor Thiago was the star of the night, scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes to set the tone for a crucial win.
United, now winless in eight consecutive away league matches (D2, L6), were left reeling as Brentford’s intensity and clinical finishing exposed their defensive fragility.
Igor Thiago’s Brilliance
The Bees came flying out of the blocks, with Jordan Henderson’s precise long ball setting up Thiago for a clinical opener just eight minutes in. Thiago doubled his tally soon after, capitalizing on Altay Bayındır’s parry to slot home from close range.
The forward’s performance underlined Brentford’s intent to fight their way clear of the relegation zone—a statement victory that could shape their season.
United’s Fightback Falls Short
Manchester United showed flashes of resistance as Benjamin Šeško netted from close range, giving the Red Devils a glimmer of hope. But Bruno Fernandes’ missed penalty in the second half proved costly, as Brentford held firm and later punished United’s desperation.
Mathias Jensen’s sublime stoppage-time strike sealed the win, extending Brentford’s impressive home run to just one defeat in seven matches (W4, D2).
