Brentford’s Kevin Schade delivered a sensational performance on Saturday, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist in his team’s commanding 4-1 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League.
The match, played as part of the league’s 13th round, saw the 23-year-old German forward take center stage at the Gtech Community Stadium. Starting on the left wing, Schade’s attacking brilliance proved too much for the Foxes, as he was directly involved in all four of Brentford’s goals.
A Historic Hat-Trick
Schade’s three-goal haul places him among an elite group of German players who have achieved hat-tricks in Premier League history.
He becomes the fourth German to accomplish this feat, joining the ranks of Jürgen Klinsmann (1998), Fredi Bobic (2002), and André Schürrle (2014).
The young forward’s performance further cements his growing reputation under the guidance of Brentford manager Thomas Frank.
With four goals and two assists across all competitions this season, Schade is emerging as a key figure in Brentford’s attacking lineup.
Brentford’s Dominance
The Bees wasted no time asserting their control over Leicester City, with Schade opening the scoring early in the match.
His clinical finishing and sharp movement were on full display as he added two more goals to his tally, capping off a memorable afternoon with an assist for Brentford’s fourth goal.
Leicester managed to pull one goal back, but their efforts were overshadowed by Schade’s remarkable display, which was met with a standing ovation from the home crowd.
Manager’s Praise
Speaking after the match, Thomas Frank praised Schade’s performance, highlighting his work rate and composure in front of goal.
“Kevin was outstanding today,” said Frank. “He’s a young player with immense potential, and performances like this show what he’s capable of. It’s a great moment for him and the team.”
Rising Star
At just 23 years old, Kevin Schade’s contribution to Brentford’s season is becoming increasingly significant.
His ability to deliver on the biggest stages is a testament to his skill and determination, and his historic hat-trick will undoubtedly boost his confidence as the season progresses.
Brentford’s victory over Leicester propels them further up the Premier League table, with Schade’s standout performance serving as a reminder of the talent that continues to emerge in one of the world’s most competitive leagues.
