Bryan Mbeumo - Breaks goal-scoring drought Mbeumo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mbeumo hadn't scored since early September before his goal Saturday, just his third in 14 starts. The striker remains a nailed-on starter, but has disappointed with his playing time, struggling to convert on his chances. Mbeumo has also seemingly taken a step back creatively, after assisting seven times in his last campaign. Mbeumo will hope to turn the end product around in the second half of the season.

Wissa is on pace for similar playing time to what he saw in the 2021/22 campaign, where he finished with seven goals and one assist.

Impact With the late booking, Toney capped off an outing to forget and will have to miss his squad's next EPL match Saturday against Nottingham Forest. Although the opponent isn't particularly daunting, Bees will still be without their star striker versus a motivated squad fending off relegation. No single Brentford player can replace Toney's scoring prowess up top, but Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa will likely be called upon more often in his stead.

At this point, the midfielder is running out of time to return before the World Cup break and may have to wait until late December to get back onto the pitch.
