Bryan Mbeumo Discloses Brentford Secret after Breaking a new Premier League Record

The forward’s 37-second strike fired the Bees into the record books, becoming the first team to score in the first minute of three consecutive games.

Bryan Mbeumo believes Brentford’s blistering starts to games are no fluke.

Mbeumo scored after only 37 seconds against West Ham, giving the Bees a Premier League record of scoring in the first minute for the third time in a row. Yoane Wissa started the hot run a fortnight ago with a 22-second goal against Manchester City, and Mbeumo scored in 23 seconds against Tottenham last weekend.

“We work a lot in training to score every time, whether it’s a set piece or open play,” said Mbeumo. “It’s a lot of work and I do a lot of finishing during the training.”

With Wissa sidelined for two months with an ankle injury, Fabio Carvalho started alongside Mbeumo and assisted on his sixth goal of the season.

“Obviously I miss him (Wissa), everybody’s missing him,” added Mbeumo. “He brings a lot of energy on the pitch with his ability. He is always positive, he is key for us. But he’s good, and hopefully he’s going to come back soon.

“Everybody has stepped up. Obviously there is a lot of competition. Everybody has to step up and show what they can do and it’s good to play with other players as well and show you can adapt. It’s good to play with Fabio as well. He’s got good passes and a good vision of the game.”
