After scoring in the first minute in their last three Premier League matches, Brentford opened the scoring after two minutes of play on Saturday against Wolverhampton for the seventh day of the championship.
Brentford supporters have been warned. You really shouldn’t arrive late at the stadium for Bees matches otherwise you’ll miss at least one goal. In the last three matches played in the English championship, Brentford achieved the feat of scoring each time during the first minute of play. Unheard of in the history of the Premier League even if the English team did not never imposed.
The clock showed 22, 23 and 36 seconds when Yoanne Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo twice scored against Manchester City (2-1 defeat), Tottenham (3-1) and West Ham (1-1). If the improbable series was interrupted this Saturday against Wolverhampton, it was only decided by a handful of seconds.
The Bees have a plan
Because the Bees opened the scoring in the second minute of play. After precisely one minute and 16 seconds of play at the Brentford Community Stadium. The scorer, Irish central defender Nathan Collins, was already at the forefront, in the penalty area, to catapult the ball with his head into the back of the net. A short-lived joy as Wolverhampton equalized three minutes later in a crazy match (it was 4-2 for Brentford at the break).
Seeing the Bees score so quickly is obviously nothing to chance. Before challenging Wolves, Brentford manager Thomas Frank deliberately remained vague on his tactics at kick-off: “I’m not going to reveal our secret. But of course we had a plan. I think it’s above all a question of state of mind, of the desire to play forward, to be in action straight away.” Manchester United, Brentford’s next league opponent on October 19, will have the entire international break to study the Bees’ supersonic starts to the match. So as not to start the game with a goal behind on the scoreboard.
