Overview

  • Igor Thiago scored on 43 minutes and Mathias Jensen sealed the result in stoppage time for Brentford’s first away league win of the season.
  • The loss leaves West Ham 19th on four points from eight games, while Brentford climb to 13th with 10.
  • West Ham have opened a league campaign with four straight home defeats for the first time in their history.
  • A fan boycott protesting the club’s board produced thousands of empty seats and a muted London Stadium.
  • Brentford out-shot West Ham 22-7 as defensive problems persisted despite Nuno’s halftime switch to a back three and with striker Niclas Füllkrug sidelined by a thigh injury.
