Brentford become first PL team to score in 1st minute in 3 consecutive games

Brentford have been coming out of the blocks lately like a rocket. The Bees, for the third consecutive Premier League matchday, found the net in the first minute of the game. City, Tottenham and now West Ham have been the victims.

It all started with Wissa, who managed to score against the Cityzens after 22 seconds, the same time as Mbeumo's goal against Spurs. The Hammers were aware that they had to be careful at the start, but they were unsuccessful.

Just after kicking off, Brentford looked for the goal and the ball was played to Kevin Schade, who crossed to Vitaly Janelt. The captain saw how a defender cleared the ball and Fabio Carvalho, attentive to the action, controlled with his chest and jumped to hit the ball.

The ball fell to the mercy of Mbeumo, who didn't think twice about latching on to a left-footed shot to put it past Areola's left-hand post. 36 seconds on the clock. They did it again, Flash-style. Historic record for the 'Bees, as they became the first team to score in the first minute in 3 straight Premier League matches.
