Everton paid the price for conceding two second-half goals in as many minutes to slip to a 4-2 defeat against Brentford at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Despite a bright opening as they looked to build on their 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest in their final match of 2025, Igor Thiago gave the visitors an 11th-minute lead with a first-time finish from Vitaly Janelt’s cross.
The early stages after the break then proved decisive as Nathan Collins headed in Janelt’s corner and, seconds later, Kevin Schade played in Thiago for his second of the match.
Substitute Beto gave the Blues a glimmer of hope just past the hour mark with a deft header from Jack Grealish’s cross โ but as David Moyes’ men pushed for another, Brentford countered in the closing stages as Thiago went clean through to claim his hat-trick.
There was still time for Thierno Barry to net his second goal in as many games, nodding in another Grealish cross in added-time, although it was only a consolation.

Without Grealish it would have been 4 nil
Awful I left after 3rd goal I never leave the whole performance was a joke fuming . Then getting in the ground today absolutely wrong itโs madness today
Who is this commentator? He's really embarrassing. I think Snods needs to give it a rest too.
I was there! Nathan was immense! Thiago saved 1, scored 3, well deserved – brilliant! Kelleher was immense! Thank you Brentford, Keith and Matthew!
A proud Bee!!
myko worst LB in PL ever
Micheal Keane back to his best leaving huge gaps in the defence and Tarkowski always has mistakes in him with his loose passing.
Conceding 4 to Brentford & Newcastle and 3 to spurs at home is not acceptable
This wonโt work as it is. What we need is an attacking midfielder operating through the centre. Sign Lingard โ what on earth are you hesitating for?
Everton is a complete different team playing at home ๐
Moyes again fucking up,we are so slow plus his insane obsession with 6 foot 6 O'Brien at right back,is all this idiot seems to say is l thought we were disappointing,no shit genius!
brentford is ๐ฅ and thiago is ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Horrible defense
Against Wolves, we should start Aznou at left back, Patterson at right back, and Armstrong from the start. Moyes needs to give Aznou a chance if Ajax is interested in him.He didn't even make his official debut. Why do we buy young talent if they don't get a chance?
Absolutely can't lose against wolves, please Everton
why dont u show replays of the goals?
What a player igor thiago๐๐ง๐ท
Cursed by Goodison Park
Everton, a team with such a rich tradition in English football, seems to grow smaller with each passing year.
11 goals have been score by three teams against us at home. Shameless. No team gets beaten at home by huge margins. David moyes is a clueless manager. Tarkowski is a liability always makes mistakes at important matches, needs to leave asap. Players like mykolenko and Obrien offer nothing going forward.
Commentator funny, yes it is.. Hatrick

Wtf is david mouse cooking ? Fire him already
I know they are highlights but can you please show replays. I mean how short do they have to be
Jack grealish needs a new club everton a wasting his talent
They never showed the fire drill near the end .
Moyes has not got a squad. Basically playing anyone who can stand up. Playing 18 year olds, unfit centre halves etc etc. Going to be a tough January
Where would Everton be without Grealish

The ref gave every 50/50 to brentford. Time wasting went unpunished. Dire performance. McNeill is NOT a no.10. Onwards to wolves Weds! UTFT!
Brentford done me proud yesterday! Had treble both teams score + win or draw! Brentford- Arsenal- and man city to draw! Had a fiver on that slip nd won ยฃ325 ๐๐
Moyes out!
I hope you get the next call from Brazil, Thiago.
Igor Thiago the Brazillian..๐ง๐ท๐ง๐ท๐ง๐ท
Why Mykolenko still in the team? We have mediocre defense
Let's laugh at Everton ๐๐
Right but belated decision to put both Beto and Barry up front, so that Grealish has two targets at once
๐ Barry and ๐ Beto still love you toffees
I love the golf/snooker commentary. Very adult for Sportsball.
Just pack it in you gimps.
How good was Jack greenlish ๐
Not the Everton fans attacking the players and manager after this loss. You're not a top team but you're doing top things. Plz stay in your lanes๐๐๐
I don't understand why Tarkowski and Keane keep playing season after season … It's ridiculous
Get rid of tarkowski
Get jarred back and tarkowski GONE
Tiagoo
Tiago must playing in Mand united
TARKOWSKI when i bring him to fpl
Picford keeper small๐๐
