This ball has a special meaning for the Brentford midfielder. Until that moment, Yarmolyuk was the third among all active field players in the Premier League in the number of matches played without scoring goals, which only increased attention to his every appearance on the field.

Yarmolyuk started this match in the starting lineup, and the confidence of the coaching staff was ultimately reinforced by a concrete result on the scoreboard.
