Thiago scores late double as Brentford beat struggling Burnley

Brentford boss Keith Andrews said the club are behind Igor Thiago's "big dream" to play for Brazil after the forward took his tally for the season to 11 goals in 13 games with a late double against 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 to inflict fourth-straight defeat on the struggling Clarets.

Thiago, who is also eligible to play for Bulgaria, is currently uncapped by Brazil, but is the highest-scoring Brazilian in Europe's top five leagues.
