Emlyn Begley

  1. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Brilliant save from West Ham keeper Alphonse Areola to keep out Ivan Toney's downwards header. A great palm off the line.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    West Ham try to eat up some sweet, sweet seconds. Ben Johnson replaces Mohammed Kudus.

  3. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Just not been Ivan Toney's day at all. A heavy first touch denies him a shooting chance. He does find Christian Norgaard, whose shot is blocked.

  4. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Brentford are playing, I would say, a 0-5-5 now. Nathan Collins on the left wing.

  5. INJURY TIME

    West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Well I said the final minute. But there's seven more. West Ham fans groan.

  6. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Into the final minute now as an offside flag goes up against Brentford.

  7. YELLOW CARD

    West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez concedes a free-kick and then kicks the ball away in frustration. Yellow card.

  8. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Mohammed Kudus tries to wrap up the game single-handedly, beating a couple of men on the right before lashing over from an angle.

    If West Ham were to concede another then they would face an onslaught in the last five minutes.

  10. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Here come Brentford but Yoane Wissa can't pick out a team-mate in the box.

    West Ham try to clear but the visitors win it back.

    If West Ham score six more they will have a positive goal difference. Go for it Moyes!

  12. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    If Brentford score another, this would get very nervy all of a sudden.

  13. West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    There's a VAR check for offside but Vladimir Coufal was playing Yoane Wissa onside so the goal stands.

    GOAL - West Ham 4-2 Brentford

    Yoane Wissa

    Surely it's too late for a comeback?

    Yoane Wissa runs onto a through ball and curls the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Lovely finish.

    Are West Ham fans watching a different team? This team is attacking and exciting to watch! Still can't believe the discontent of Moyes at the helm after the heights of last season. Plus they're eighth so far with plenty of football to play. Moyes deserves better.

  18. SUBSTITUTION

    West Ham 4-1 Brentford

    West Ham bring on Michail Antonio for Lucas Paqueta, who gets a standing ovation.

    Brentford replace Mathias Jensen with fellow Denmark midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard.

  19. West Ham 4-1 Brentford

    Emerson Palmieri's goal was his first in the Premier League since last February when he netted against another London team in Chelsea.

  20. West Ham 4-1 Brentford
