football news today: Thiago nets as Brentford beat Burnley

Brentford striker Igor Thiago took his tally for the season to 11 goals in 13 games with a late double as the Bees inflicted a fourth-straight defeat on struggling Burnley. In a game that remained goalless until the 81st minute, the Brazilian striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Zian Flemming replied for Burnley with a penalty at the other end four minutes later. But Brentford regained the lead a minute later as Thiago smashed home from close range after Jordan Henderson's ball into the box created problems for the Burnley defence before Dango Ouattara sealed the victory in injury time. The home side were on the front foot early on, with Thiago firing over from close range after a cutback from Mikkel Damsgaard shortly before the Danish midfielder also went close...

soccer in live: Brentford injury news

Brentford have confirmed that attacker Fabio Carvalho has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND - MAY 25: Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo celebrates scoring the opening goal during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Brentford FC at Molineux on May 25, 2025 in Wolverhampton, England. Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo has now moved into rarified air when it comes to tedious summer transfer sagas at Manchester United. Just how tedious? Well, the Mbeumo situation is now starting to feel like the Frenkie de Jong transfer saga, as been overly protracted as that was, in 2022. Right now, it feels like Mbeumo will end up just like De Jong three summers ago- the guy at the very top of the United wish list, and a player who fills a big need, but never came. According to The Guardian, talks have now stalled, as Brentford raised their price closer to...

Man Utd draw up new Ivan Toney transfer plan after Brentford response

Manchester United could yet be tempted by a loan deal for Brentford forward Ivan Toney.The Bees have stood firm so far this summer, and require £60million to part ways with their star striker. The England international has less than a year on his contract and has shown no desire to extend his stay at the G-tech Stadium. No club has yet proved willing to meet that figure, with the possibility that patience could not prove beneficial for any suitor. At 28, Toney is an older forward that clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea would not ideally target, though they have been interested in the striker, along with Arsenal. The Independent report that the Old Trafford side, like Chelsea, are willing to wait until nearer the end of the transfer window to potentially make a move. It is ex...
