Not West Ham's day - own goal and post shot as Brentford win 3-0

Brentford beat West Ham 3-0, meaning Tottenham can climb above the relegation zone in the Premier League. That requires a win away to Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The drama at the bottom of the English top flight continues. West Ham and Tottenham are both in a bad position and are in danger of being relegated along with Burnley and Wolverhampton. West Ham is on 36 points, Tottenham has 34.

West Ham tried to overwhelm Europa League-chasing Brentford, but could not find the margins. An own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos, two efforts that hit the post before half-time and a shot that struck the crossbar in the second half rounded off West Ham's courageous 90 minutes.

Swedes Anthony Elanga and Yasin Ayari sat on the bench for the entire match when their clubs - Newcastle and Brighton - met. Newcastle won 3–1.
