That's the end of this live text now. Thanks for joining us tonight.

See which player from tonight's game made Garth Crooks' team of the week.

You can probably guess to be fair.

We'll be back tomorrow for the FA Cup fifth round. Bye.

West Ham have won a Premier League game against Brentford for the first time, having lost all five of their previous games in the competition against the Bees - scoring more goals tonight than in the previous five matches combined (three).

Brentford have lost four consecutive London derbies in the league for the first time since September 2012, when they were in League One.

Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank, speaking to Sky Sports: "People have different strategies when they speak about the games and the referees. We didn't get to our level today. We played against a West Ham team that played well. There were crucial moments in the game that didn't go our way. I think the push on Reguilon was a penalty. To me, it was a push in the back but that's it.

"We work very hard to find consistency in the season. We did very well at the Etihad against the best team in the world but we scored two here very quickly."

West Ham United

West Ham boss David Moyes to BBC Sport: "I'd hoped it was coming. It was needed. Our form in six weeks has been poor. It's good to score four goals and get a win at home.

"Lucas [Paqueta] made a huge difference to us. He was running out of steam after 60 mintues. He's a huge influence on the team. He's an excellent player."

On Jarrod Bowen's first hat-trick: "I thought maybe he might have got one at Hull. It gets him back in the goals. I'm sure if he scores like that he'll keep in Gareth [Southgate]'s mind.

"Jarrod Bowen at times has looked that way but hasn't quite got the goals. Some of his performances recently have gone unnoticed because we haven't won.

"He was Johnny On the Spot and got the goals. He was a threat in other ways too."

On sitting eighth: "Not bad at this time of the season. We're always getting a level of criticism but we're up there challenging. There's a lot of teams with a lot of money and experience. It was only three years ago we were battling to avoid relegation most seasons."

On his contract situation: "I want to get more performances and wins and challenge the best we can. When you get to my age you can sign contracts whenver you feel ready to do so. It's probably getting pushed more by the media than anyone else. We're all happy to wait until closer to the end of the season."

West Ham United

West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports: "We needed to get three points. We played in a much more aggressive fashion tonight. Played well in the first half, not so well in the second half but we got the goals we needed.

"The difference Paqueta makes and Kudus played well too. Bowen was back to his best tonight. That front three is huge for us when you see what they can do."

On Paqueta risk: "It paid off greatly because we were really nervous about bringing him back in the week. We didn't want to reinjure him. We got him off after 70 minutes and hopefully he'll be ready for the next game as well."

On building momentum: "We have to win more games but we've been in a good position must of the season. Being in the top half of the league for West Ham is good. Our European success has been good, we've got more to come for tat. Some more reality has to come into too. We've had a bad month."

On Bowen: "If we can get Lucas [Paqueta] playing well and Jarrod [Bowen] playing as well as we can then they can make a difference. Jarrod started the season really well and he got injured with England. If he keeps scoring the goals then he'll be in that England squad to go to the Euros."

On contract: "Me and the chairman have a great relationship. We've been pushed by the media more. We were happy to wait until the end of the season. The big thing for me is to see what happens until the end of the season. I've enjoyed it here, the club have been good to me. We were a relegation team before but now we're around Europe."

West Ham United

West Ham hat-trick hero Jarrod Bowen to BBC Sport: "There's been a lot of games, at Hull City too, where I scored two but couldn't get the third one.

"Tonight [after scoring two early I was] thinking a lot of the game left here. The ball comes in and I managed to put it away. My first thought was please don't be offside.

"Inside I was really happy for myself to get that first hat-trick I've been waiting for for many years.

"[I thought] don't miss. I'm not really known for my heading. I had to score.

"We knew tonight we could create a home atmosphere with the fans and if we started well they'd respond to it.

"The players were running out of energy a bit. There's times you have to sit in and we did that.

"We needed a reaction. It was one game which could change our season. We're back in Europe. A lot of games to look forward to."

On England: "That all takes care of itself. I was disappointed not to score since the Manchester United game."

West Ham United

West Ham goalscorer Jarrod Bowen, speaking to Sky Sports: "I've had a couple of times where I've had two goals and never got the hat-trick. It was on my mind. I don't score many headers but they all count. It's a really proud moment for me. You're always waiting for that third one and it never comes. I got the little glance on the header and it went in. I was so buzzing to get it.

"I'm always wanting to shoot so I set the touch up for it. I didn't catch it too clean and it went in. With my left foot, I'm always looking for the cut back. I was lingering in the box and trying not to be marked from the defender. I saw that it was two goals in seven minutes and I don't think I've scored that quick before. Kudus put a great ball and I thought I was in. I just tried to get in the right areas in the box and trust that the right ball would come in."

On celebration: "I've been watching a bit of people MCing so my mates told me to do the Spider-Man celebration. I promised my mate I'd do it so I had to do it for him."

On new position: "There's been games where I've struggled and not really been in them. I'm always learning. With my energy, I'm always trying to press. It's difficult. I'm five foot nine and up against big centre halves. I've got to know what I'm good at and not what I'm good at. I'm trying to learn a new position in one of the best leagues."

On West Ham results: "Since the start of the year, we haven't been at a level that we'd want to be at. Tonight we made a good step but there's a lot of work to be done. We have some big games coming up and we're back in Europe."

Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank to BBC Sport: "We know we always have a chance to come back and we came back. We knew there was a way back into the game.

"Unfortunately we gave the third one away and that killed the game a bit. We played a West Ham team who were better than us today and we didn't perform to our highest level.

"The frustration is we performed badly over all. It seems after a very good performance against Manchester City, it's two steps back again. It's an inconsistent season so far.

"These players have a fantastic mentality and work ethic but we didn't have a high enough performance today.

"We lost 4-1 so that [penalty appeal] didn't decide it. The penalty shout at 2-1 was a clear penalty on Reguilon.

"I'm irritated by the inconsistency of performances. I know it's there. I'm convinced we'll find it quick again."

On Everton having four points reinstated: "I'm unbelievably irritated with our performance today so that's my only focus."

West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen has scored a personal best 14 Premier League goals this season.

He netted that many in three consecutive seasons for Hull in the Championship (14, 22, 26).

That was·Jarrod Bowen's first ever hat-trick.

The last West Ham player to score a Premier League hat-trick was Michail Antonio against Norwich in July 2020 - when he netted four.

West Ham’s Emerson both scored and assisted in a single Premier League game for the first time.

He also created the most chances in the match (four).

Brentford are five points above the relegation zone but Luton, in 18th, have a game in hand on the Bees.

West Ham, for all the talk of that winless run and David Moyes' future, are eighth and only off a potential European spot on goal difference.

West Ham have won each of their last six Monday Premier League home fixtures, by an aggregate score of 17-4.

Brentford have lost four consecutive Premier League London derbies, directly following a 14-game unbeaten run in such games.

This is the first time West Ham have ever beaten Brentford in the top flight. They had lost the previous five meetings.

It's all over.

West Ham get a first win in nine games to help ease some pressure on David Moyes.

Brentford remain in the relegation mix.

It won't be a surprise to know Jarrod Bowen has been named man of the match on the TV.

Another fine save from Alphonse Areola and then a top block from goalscorer Emerson to keep out Ivan Toney's shot.
