A new striking sensation emerges: 5 goals in 2 rounds overshadow Haaland, setting a Brazilian player record with 16 Premier League goals this season.

Ancelotti’s fresh choice, the Brazilian tall striker has risen as the new king bee and Premier League sensation, breaking the single-season scoring record for Brazilian players. With 5 goals in the last two rounds, he has surpassed Haaland’s recent dry spell of four rounds without a goal from open play, standing second only behind Haaland on the scoring leaderboard.

The Premier League maintains its midweek double fixtures; in the 21st round, Brentford hosted and crushed the surprise package Sunderland 3-0. In this game, the 1.91-meter tall Brazilian striker Igor Thiago scored twice, delivering a brace. Sunderland has shown the strength and spirit of the best promoted team this season, but they were overwhelmed by the Bees at home. Igor Thiago’s consecutive goals, tallying 5 in 2 rounds, make him currently the form striker in the Premier League. Perhaps after this match, top Premier League clubs will start competing for him, as quality tall strikers like him are rare, with a level of skill not inferior to Haaland, possibly even tougher.

In the 21st round of the Premier League, Brentford defeated Sunderland 3-0, with Igor Thiago starting and scoring a brace, earning the highest match rating of 8.7.

In the 20th round of the Premier League, Everton lost 2-4 to Brentford. Igor Thiago started and scored a hat-trick, receiving a perfect match rating of 10.0.

After scoring twice against Sunderland, Igor Thiago’s Premier League goal tally this season has risen to 16, ranking second only to Haaland’s 20 goals on the scoring chart. His 16 goals have already broken the single-season record for Brazilian players in the Premier League, with half the season still to go; Igor Thiago is likely to extend this record further.

Igor Thiago is currently 24 years old, in the prime of his career, standing 1.91 meters tall, a right-footed striker valued at €35 million by Transfermarkt, with expectations for a significant price increase in the next update. He has played in all 21 Premier League rounds this season, starting 20 times, scoring 16 goals and providing 1 assist—far outperforming Arsenal’s striker Yokore and Manchester United’s Sheshko.

It looks like Premier League giants are ready to spend big to sign the new king bee. Ancelotti now has another attacking option for the World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. A highly efficient tall striker like Igor Thiago hasn’t appeared in the Samba army for many years.
