A tough result to take.

Numerous swings and roundabouts across the 90 with a brutal reality check coming our way, but it would be unfair to suggest that the 3-0 scoreline was a fair outcome.

Brentford’s goals came through initially, an own goal by Mavropanos, which had its own controversy, as well as a shocking foul by Diouf and finally, Damsgaard firing low and giving Brentford their three.

Brentford: Caoimhin Kelleher (GK), Michael Kayode, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Keane Lewis-Potter, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Mathias Jensen, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade, Igor Thiago.
Substitutes: Ajer, Dasilva, Donovan, Furo, Hickey, Janelt, Nelson, Pinnock, Valdimarsson.

The busy bees have certainly been an underestimated force in the Premier League this season, with the majority of Football fans at the beginning of the season suggesting they’d be one of the three to go down, yet Keith Andrews’ side have proved everyone wrong numerous times over.

The Hammers have faced Brentford twice so far this season, both times in the London Stadium, one being the glamorous FA Cup victory on penalties, whereas the other was a dismal, gloomy 2-0 defeat where the Hammers didn’t even pose a shot on goal.
