Analysis: Thiago re-discovers scoring touch against Forest

Igor Thiago scored for the second time in three days in Brentford's win over Nottingham Forest

Analysis: Thiago re-discovers scoring touch against Forest

Igor Thiago, Brentford's forward, has rediscovered his scoring touch this season, netting four goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. His resurgence comes after only scoring twice in the previous 10 matches. One of those goals was against Championship side Birmingham City in an EFL Cup second-round match. The Brazil international's latest goals in a recent EFL Cup match have provided a significant boost to the Bees, who are now showing promising signs of being in contention for European football.

Thiago's only other league goal this season came at his home ground against Chelsea. He expressed his happiness at netting more goals this season, attributing it to divine intervention. The forward's return to form is particularly welcome considering the absence of his goals from last season, and it bodes well for Brentford's prospects in the current campaign.
