Premier League: West Ham United 1-2 Brentford

-

Brentford manager Thomas Frank says his team's injury-time win at West Ham was a "massive" result for the club.

Yoane Wissa scored an injury time winner as Brentford moved up to seventh in the table with a dramatic victory against West Ham United.

Let's have a look at the best reaction

The Brentford manager spoke with the media after the match and believes that his time can do even better: "If we can do that every week, it would be nice. Fantastic feeling away from home, a solid performance. In the second half, West Ham were better."

David Moyes added:"It was a blow, we didn’t deserve that. I think Brentford will make it hard for lots of teams. In the second half, we dominated and in the first half, we missed opportunities."

What stat?

Should West Ham be concerned about some of their recent form and results? They have now lost four of their past seven home league matches (won two, drawn one), as many as they lost in their previous twenty matches at London Stadium.

Declan Rice tweeted: "I’m devastated. Last week it was the other way around – we scored the winner late on – and I knew what a feeling that was, but to concede that late was horrible."

The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
