Yoane Wissa entered Brentford's history books as he became the club's all-time Premier League leading goalscorer. 

After inspiring Tuesday night's comeback against Manchester City, Wissa moved on to 37 top-flight goals for the club, overtaking Ivan Toney.

"He probably should have scored two if I'm a little bit after him. But he has been very good for us, and the way he has taken over from Ivan - not only him, but Bryan Mbeumo as well," said head coach Thomas Frank following the 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium.

"The partnership between the two of them is quite unique. We are just Brentford. I am extremely proud."

Wissa's goal v Man City

The 28-year-old joined the Bees from Ligue 1 club Lorient in August 2021, and scored seven goals in each of his first two seasons in England.

Last season he struck 12 times, and is just one short of that tally already for 2024/25, scoring for the 11th time in the Premier League against Man City as his side came from 2-0 down to claim a point against the champions.

With Mbeumo only a few goals behind Wissa, Brentford are one of three clubs to have two current players sitting in their top three all-time Premier League scoring list.
