Brentford 3-1 Burnley: Igor Thiago brace and late Dango Ouattara strike clinch victory for Bees

Igor Thiago scored twice in the last ten minutes to help Brentford beat relegation-threatened Burnley 3-1 after an exciting finish to their Premier League clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 81st minute from the penalty spot before Zian Flemming responded with a spot-kick of his own a few minutes later.

Just as it appeared that the spoils would be shared in west London, Thiago popped up in the box with a brilliant 86th-minute finish before Dango Ouattara wrapped up the points in stoppage time.

Burnley came into the clash in desperate need of a win after falling to defeat in their three previous Premier League fixtures.

Mikkel Damsgaard had the first shot on goal of the match, but his tame effort was straight at Martin Dubravka.

Brentford captain Nathan Collins should have scored after getting on the end of a corner shortly after, but his header went wide of the left post.
