Brentford vs Manchester United: Thiago Brace in 3-1 Win

Brentford FC claimed a memorable 3-1 Premier League victory over Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, with Brazilian striker Igor Thiago stealing the spotlight on his league debut.

Thiago struck twice within the first 20 minutes, finishing clinically to put Brentford in control and send the home crowd into jubilation. The quick brace marked his first goals in English football and set the tone for a spirited performance.

Manchester United fought back when Benjamin Šeško reduced the deficit, but their hopes of a comeback were dashed when captain Bruno Fernandes squandered a late penalty. Brentford made them pay in stoppage time as Mathias Jensen curled in a stunning third goal to seal the win.

The victory moved Brentford into mid-table and handed new manager Keith Andrews a significant boost as he continues shaping the squad. For Manchester United, led by Ruben Amorim, the loss deepened their early-season struggles, raising fresh questions about defensive frailties and wasted chances.

The match highlighted contrasting fortunes: Brentford celebrating Thiago’s dazzling introduction to the Premier League, and Manchester United left ruing yet another missed opportunity to steady their campaign.
