Bees' hat-trick hero buzzing as they chase top-four spot
IGOR THIAGO ended a six-match drought with a first Premier League hat-trick to fire Brentford to within four points of the top four.
The Brazilian took his tally to 14 with his first goals since the end of November and only Manchester City's Erling Haaland has scored more in the Premier League.
Head coach Keith Andrews continues to confound his critics as he equalled the biggest win of his short stint in charge against Bournemouth last weekend as they put four past an Everton side which had four clean sheets in their last six games.
Nathan Collins headed home the other as the Bees scored their first from a corner in the league at the 96th attempt, and Beto's 66th-minute response and Thierno Barry's goal in added time barely papered over the cracks.
