Their goals against Brighton meant Mbeumo and Wissa have scored in the same match for the 18th time during their Brentford careers.<\/p>\n

Only seven pairings in Premier League history have a better overall record.<\/p>\n

“That’s an incredible achievement from the two of them,” said manager Frank after the win against Brighton.<\/p>\n

“When you consistently over the past six seasons have produced top scorers, that must be something we’re doing right.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy that Mbeumo is shining and is the main man now for us. But I think it’s a duo.<\/p>\n
