First Half: Early Breakthrough via Own Goal
Brentford started brightly and didn’t have to wait long for their opener. In the 15th minute, West Ham defender K. Mavropanos inadvertently turned the ball into his own net under pressure from the Brentford attack. The own goal gave the home side a 1-0 lead, and while West Ham attempted to respond, Brentford’s defensive organization limited any clear-cut chances. The Bees went into the halftime break with a slender but well-deserved advantage.
Second Half: Penalty Seals the Momentum
West Ham hoped to regroup after the interval, but Brentford struck again in the 54th minute. After a foul inside the box, striker I. Thiago stepped up confidently and converted from the spot, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 2-0. The penalty effectively broke West Ham’s resistance, as the visitors struggled to create meaningful attacking pressure.

Goal Scorers
| Time (Min) | Team | Scorer |
|---|---|---|
| 15′ | Brentford | K. Mavropanos |
| 54′ (Pen) | Brentford | I. Thiago |
| 82′ | Brentford | M. Damsgaard |
With the match winding down, Brentford added a third for good measure. In the 82nd minute, midfielder M. Damsgaard got on the scoresheet with a well-taken finish, completing the rout at 3-0. It was a fitting end to a thoroughly professional display from Thomas Frank’s side, who controlled possession, defended stoutly, and took their chances with ruthless efficiency.
What This Means
For Brentford, this dominant home victory continues their impressive Premier League campaign. The clean sheet and multiple goal-scorers will boost confidence as they look to finish the season strongly. The Bees have shown they can hurt opponents in various ways from forcing errors to converting penalties and scoring in open play.
For West Ham, it was a night to forget. The early own goal set a negative tone, and they never fully recovered. The Hammers offered little attacking threat and were comfortably second-best in all departments. Manager David Moyes (or his successor, depending on your timeline) will have serious questions to answer after such a flat performance.
