Dewsbury-Hall rescues Everton as Igor Thiago breaks Brentford goal record

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck a dramatic 91st-minute equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw for Everton against Brentford, overshadowing a historic performance from Igor Thiago.

​Igor Thiago etched his name into the record books on Saturday, scoring twice to become Brentford’s highest top-flight scorer in a single season with 21 goals.

The Brazilian’s record-breaking brace bookended a deft header from Everton’s Beto. Bees manager Keith Andrews praised his striker’s evolution, stating,

“The goals get the attention but his overall performance levels are getting better and better. He’s proven to be a very special player.”

​Everton snatched a vital point in stoppage time when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall smashed home a loose ball following a goal-line scramble.

The result keeps both sides level in a tight battle for European qualification. Toffees boss David Moyes hailed the midfielder’s impact since joining the club.

“When I was signing him, he told me, ‘I’ll score goals if I’m played in the right position,’” Moyes revealed.
