Brentford made history by scoring in the first minute for the third consecutive match, with Bryan Mbeumo netting a goal just 37 seconds into the game against West Ham. Despite this impressive start, Brentford struggled to maintain their lead, as they had in previous matches against Manchester City and Tottenham.

This result marked Brentford's first home match without a win this season, while West Ham continued their unbeaten away streak. Manager Thomas Frank expressed pride in his team's early scoring strategy but acknowledged the need to improve their ability to hold onto leads.
