Analysis: Thiago re-discovers scoring touch against Forest

Igor Thiago has four goals from 12 appearances for Brentford this season, two of which have come in the last three days [Getty Images] Only Manchester City's Erling Haaland (27) netted more Premier League goals than Igor Thiago's 22 last season. But this season, it has been a different story. Until four days ago, Thiago had netted just twice in 10 matches in all competitions. One of which was against Championship side Birmingham City in EFL Cup second-round drubbing. But after scoring on Wednesday at Sunderland , again in the EFL Cup, the Brazil forward now has four goals in all competitions from 12 outings and with two in three days, showed a huge sigh of relief after sealing victory for the Bees. "It means a lot to me. I was waiting for this goal for so long this season," Thiago, whose only other league goal came at home to Chelsea, told Premier League Productions. "Thank you Lord, to score one more goal at home. I am really happy." In the summer, Thiago went to the World Cup with Brazil. But after starting in their opening match against Morocco, the Bees striker was an unused substitute for the remainder of the campaign. With back-to-back goals, his form will only compliment a Brentford side who despite missing Thiago's goals from last season, are showing early season signs of being in the European mix.
