Brentford striker Igor Thiago was shown a straight red card following a VAR review during his side's Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The incident occurred in the 2026/27 season match at the Amex Stadium, leaving the visitors a man down for a significant portion of the game.
Thiago's dismissal came after the video assistant referee recommended an on-field review for a challenge deemed to be serious foul play. The Brazilian forward, who joined Brentford in the summer, had been looking to make an impact but saw his afternoon end prematurely.
Brighton went on to capitalize on their numerical advantage, securing a victory that dented Brentford's hopes of climbing the table. The result and the red card will likely prompt further scrutiny of Thiago's disciplinary record as the Bees prepare for their next fixture.
