Since his first in December, 2021, Mbeumo has scored 10 penalties in all competitions in English football, missing none.<\/p>\n
When it comes to just Premier League spot-kicks, only Cole Palmer, Raul Jimenez and Yaya Toure have taken more than the 25-year-old’s nine without failing to score.<\/p>\n
Brentford’s last penalty-taking talisman was Toney who scored 11 from 12 yards in the English top flight, but even he missed his penultimate effort for the Bees.<\/p>\n
With Mbeumo reprieved by VAR on Sunday, he took his second chance with a jumping run-up just before he hit the ball, waiting for goalkeeper Dean Henderson to dive the wrong way.<\/p>\n
“Never doubt Bryan,” said team-mate Nathan Collins. “We are all so confident in him and he’s confident in himself. To do that on your second one, it’s unreal.”<\/p>\n
Asked about Wissa’s early celebration, Mbeumo said it was down to their pair’s friendship “on and off the pitch”.<\/p>\n
“If one of us scores, then we are really happy for the other,” Mbeumo told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
He added his winning penalty-taking formula was down to “just focusing myself”.<\/p>\n
“It’s all mental at this point,” he added. “I know I work a lot and I just needed to do the business.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
