Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa eye Premier League record

Few sights in football are better to watch than a strike partnership in full flow and Brentford might possess the Premier League's current best duo.

Partnerships such as Shearer & Sutton, Suarez & Sturridge and Cole & Yorke are era-defining for many fans of Premier League football.

There is something captivating about the combination of two forwards at the top of their game and the harmony between Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa has been an emerging story all season long.

Brentford's 4-2 win over Brighton on Saturday marked the seventh time the pair have found the back of the net in the same game this season.

This has given them an opportunity to create Premier League history.

Premier League record a possibility

The seven games that the Brentford duo have both scored in sits three shy of the 10 they require to equal the feat.

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were the first to hit double digits in 2018-19 before Salah (again) joined Sadio Mane on the scoresheet on 10 occasions in 2021-22.

Matches scored in by teammates during a single Premier League season

Salah & Firmino (18-19)	10
Salah & Mane (21-22)	10
Cole & Beardsley (94-95)	9
Martial & Rashford (19-20)	9
Dzeko & Toure (13-14)	8
Kane & Son (21-22)	8
Salah & Mane (17-18)	8
Shearer & Ferdinand (96-97)	8
Mbeumo & Wissa (24-25)	7*

It's clear that the Brentford pairing have their work cut out if they want to surpass those at the top, but a record-equalling number is well within reach.

Their five-match league run-in doesn't look too tricky on paper.

A trip to Nottingham Forest comes next before they host Man Utd at the Gtech.

Ipswich and Fulham are then on the agenda before concluding the season with a trip to Wolves.
