That wraps up our coverage for this match. Thank you for joining us, and don’t go too far, as we’ll be back soon for Liverpool's exciting clash against Wolves, which kicks off in less than half an hour. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
It took just nine minutes into the second half for Tomas Soucek to equalize for West Ham, as the seasoned midfielder capitalized on a rebound after Michail Antonio’s initial shot was blocked. Soucek’s composed finish into an unguarded net not only ignited the West Ham supporters but also shifted the dynamic of the match, instilling a sense of caution in both teams. As a result, both Brentford and West Ham seemed reluctant to fully commit to their attacks, wary of being caught on the counter by their opponents. This cautious approach ultimately led to a stalemate, with neither side able to find that decisive goal to secure all three points. Consequently, both teams remain stuck in mid-table, leaving their managers with more questions than answers as they ponder how to turn their respective seasons around.
West Ham's inconsistent start to the season under Julen Lopetegui was evident in their London derby against Brentford, where they fell behind just a minute into the match when Bryan Mbeumo capitalized on a pass from Fabio Carvalho to score. Brentford continued to apply pressure, with West Ham struggling to generate any meaningful attacks in the opening half-hour, as both Mohammed Kudus and Guido Rodriguez missed their shooting opportunities. Although West Ham began to find some rhythm as the first half progressed, Kudus' volley was blocked by Sepp van den Berg, and they ultimately failed to register a single shot on target before the halftime whistle.
90+7'
Soler turns deftly in the attacking third and unleashes a shot toward the right side of the goal. Brentford's goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, reacts quickly to push the effort away, but there's no time left for a corner. Irving voices his frustration over the call and receives a yellow card for his protests.

NO PENALTY AGAIN! Janelt seizes on a loose ball and makes a determined effort to get a shot off in the box. However, he goes down after what seems to be contact with Wan-Bissaka, prompting the Brentford players to appeal for a penalty. The referee, unmoved by the claims, waves play on, signaling that Janelt's fall was a result of his own miscalculation rather than a foul, much to the frustration of the Bees.

Kilman receives a yellow card after a physical clash with Mbeumo near the halfway line, as both players jostle for possession.
