Bryan Mbeumo the person of the day at the EPL according to Dailysports
On January 4, seven matches of the 20th round of the English Premier League took place. Both Chelsea and Arsenal simultaneously dropped points, while Manchester City secured back-to-back victories for the first time in a while.
However, the most high-scoring match of the day unfolded in Southampton, where the league's bottom side was crushed by Brentford. The visitors delivered a brilliant second-half performance, dismantling their opponents with a commanding 5-0 victory. Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo stood out as the star of the day, earning recognition from Dailysports as the key player of the matchday.
The Cameroonian striker registered a brace and an assist, bringing his goal tally this season to 13. This campaign can already be considered Mbeumo’s best in the Premier League, as his previous highest scoring season came in 2019/2020 in the Championship.
Notably, only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland have scored more goals than the Brentford forward this season, with 17 and 16 goals, respectively.
