    That's what we like to see. 20-25 years ago the Prem was full of screamers. Now everyone wants to pass the ball into the net. That's a proper goal from Emerson.

    West Ham 4-1 Brentford

    Jarrod Bowen is the first West Ham player to score a Premier League hat-trick at London Stadium.

    He is the fourth player to hit three goals here in the league, but the other three were by opposition players.

    Emerson Palmieri

    Woof.

    The ball drops to Emerson Palmieri 25 yards out. He takes a touch and smacks an absolute screamer into the top corner.

    Great goal and surely West Ham are going to win this game.

    I feel that West Ham can't afford to wait and let this game drift because something will go against them.

    Brentford are trying to find Keane Lewis-Potter on the right wing every time they get the ball. He's having a field day. This time the wide man cuts in and has a shot saved.

    That cross from Lewis-Potter was almost too good. Toney couldn't read the flight of it because of how much it was moving.
