Brentford's decision not to bring in another striker was in part down to circumstance, with Wissa's move not going through until deadline day. The 24-year-old has gone about making up for lost time this season, though, with his double against Sunderland taking him to 16 league goals - the most by a Brazilian in a single Premier League campaign. "He's been a breath of fresh air," former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy said on BBC Match of the Day. And it is not just the quantity but the timing of the goals that have been so important for Brentford. "The recruitment team deserve a lot of praise for the type of players they bring in and personalities," Andrews told Match of the Day.
