Brentford, featuring Ukrainian midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk, secured an impressive 3–1 victory over Newcastle United, marking their third win in the last four Premier League fixtures. While Yarmolyuk wasn’t directly involved in any of the goals, his disciplined performance contributed to a well-balanced team display.

The match didn’t start well for the hosts — Harvey Barnes put Newcastle ahead in the 27th minute with a clinical finish. However, the game turned after the break. Shade struck the equaliser early in the second half, and the momentum shifted dramatically when Dan Burn received his second yellow card, leaving Newcastle down to ten men.

Taking full advantage, Thiago netted twice in the final 15 minutes, sealing a spirited comeback and delivering all three points to Brentford in front of their home fans.
