Brentford Makes Premier League History with Lightning-Fast Goals!

2024-09-28

In an incredible display of quick scoring, Brentford has etched their name in Premier League history by becoming the first team to find the back of the net in the opening minute for three consecutive matches. This remarkable feat was achieved during their thrilling 1-1 draw against West Ham at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The star of the moment was Bryan Mbeumo, who netted a goal just 36 seconds into the match. This was not a one-time occurrence for Mbeumo; he had previously scored within the first minute in Brentford's 3-1 loss to Tottenham and Yoane Wissa had achieved a similar feat against Manchester City just a week before. Each of these rapid strikes showcases Brentford's emerging reputation as fast starters in the league.

Mbeumo’s latest goal marks his fifth of the season, placing him among the league’s top scorers, tied for third with Liverpool's Luis Díaz. The only players ahead of them are the prolific Erling Haaland from Manchester City and Chelsea's rising star Cole Palmer, making Mbeumo a player to watch as the season progresses.

Brentford's remarkable start to games is certainly attributed to skill, and some experts believe it’s no coincidence. The club has recently bolstered its coaching staff, bringing in Keith Andrews as a new set-piece coach. Andrews took over from Bernardo Cueva, who moved to Chelsea. Under his guidance, Brentford's tactical play, especially from set pieces, has noticeably improved.

However, it’s important to note that while Brentford has excelled at setting the tone early on, they have struggled to keep that momentum going throughout matches. The 1-1 draw with West Ham means that the team has won only two of their first seven games in the Premier League this season, suggesting that more consistency will be key for their ambitions moving forward. Will Brentford find a way to convert their explosive starts into more victories? Fans eagerly await the next match to see if history will repeat itself!
