Brentford head coach Keith Andrews believes Igor Thiago’s form means he deserves to be mentioned alongside some of Europe’s top strikers.

The 24-year-old’s first Premier League hat-trick in the 4-2 win at Everton means only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe and Bayern Munich’s England captain Harry Kane have scored more in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
