5 goals in 4 games! OFFICIAL: I.Thiago wins EPL Player of the Month for November

Brazilian striker Igor Thiago becomes the first Brentford player to win the award after scoring five goals in November

Igor Thiago has been voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for November 2025, the first Brentford player to win the award.

The Brentford striker is just the fourth player from the club to win a monthly award after Ivan Toney and Saman Ghoddos claimed the Goal of the Month awards in September 2022 and October 2023 respectively, and Mark Flekken won the Save of the Month in February 2024. 

Thiago enjoyed a sensational month, scoring five of Brentford’s seven goals, at least two more than any player from November's shortlist.

'I'm so happy and proud of myself'

After winning the award, Thiago said: "It means so much to me. I'm really happy to receive this because it means my hard work on the pitch has paid off.

"I'm surprised! But hopefully I can receive more of these this season. I'm so happy and proud of myself."

Thiago's sensational month

The Brazilian began his scoring run with a commanding display in a 3–1 win over Newcastle United at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Having gone behind in the first half, Thiago took control of the match late on, converting a 78th-minute penalty to put Brentford ahead, then sealing the victory deep into stoppage time with a composed finish inside the box.

The 24-year-old continued his momentum against Brighton & Hove Albion, opening the scoring with another penalty in a tight contest which his side unfortunately went on to lose.

Brentford’s final match of the month saw Thiago deliver yet another decisive performance, netting a late brace in a 3–1 home win over Burnley.

One week after having a stoppage-time penalty saved against Brighton, he showed no hesitation from the spot late on to give his side the lead. And just a minute after Burnley thought they had rescued a late point, Thiago powered in his second to help his side secure all three points.

His prolific form this season has seen Thiago become the fastest Brentford player to reach double-digit Premier League goals, hitting his 10th goal in just his 13th match.

He now sits on 11 Premier League goals this season, behind only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (15), and four clear of the next-closest chasers, Danny Welbeck and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Thiago topped an eight-man shortlist after the public's votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
