Premier League 2025-26: Brentford, Everton share points; Brighton beats Burnley With UEFA confirming that the top five clubs in the Premier League will all qualify for next season’s Champions League, the battle to join Europe’s elite is set for an intriguing finale with several outsiders still in the frame.
Brentford was tipped as a relegation contender at the start of the season after losing some of its top players and seeing manager Thomas Frank depart to Tottenham Hotspur.
But under Keith Andrews, the Bees have prospered and are putting pressure on the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool. They will be kicking themselves though after twice leading against Everton but only taking a point.
Igor Thiago’s double took his top-flight tally this season to 21, making him the highest-scoring Brentford player in a single Premier League campaign, overtaking Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney who both hit 20.
