Konstantinos Mavropanos scored an own goal for Brentford. Igor Thiago successfully converted a penalty, and Mikkel Damsgaard added the third goal.

The match took place at the G-Tech Community Stadium, with an attendance of 17,194 fans. This victory marked Brentford’s tenth clean sheet of the season.

The controversy arose when VAR ruled out a goal by Mavropanos for offside. According to the Premier League Match Centre, “VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Mavropanos was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.” This decision sparked debates among fans and analysts alike.

Keith Hackett criticized the officiating, stating, “This was a careless challenge and should have resulted in the award of a penalty kick to West Ham United.” Meanwhile, Mikkel Damsgaard expressed satisfaction with Brentford’s performance: “We played a good game; we knew it was going to be tough.”

West Ham hit the woodwork four times during the match but failed to score. They will look to rebound in their next fixture against Arsenal.

This result lifts Brentford to sixth place in the Premier League table. Observers are keen to see how this affects both teams moving forward.
