west ham vs brentford It was a nightmare home debut for Nuno Espírito Santo, as his West Ham United side slumped to a 0-2 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League. The Hammers looked out of rhythm and uninspired, while the Bees capitalized on their chances with precision and energy.
Brentford took control early, pressing high and exploiting gaps in West Ham’s defense. A first-half strike from Bryan Mbeumo put the visitors ahead, silencing the London Stadium crowd. Despite a few promising moments from Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paquetá, West Ham failed to find rhythm or creativity in attack.
The second half saw Brentford tighten their grip, with Yoane Wissa doubling the lead following a swift counterattack. Defensive errors and a lack of urgency plagued Nuno’s men throughout the game, raising questions about his tactical setup and team selection.
For Brentford, the victory marks an important boost after a string of mixed results, while for Nuno, it’s a harsh reminder of the task ahead — rebuilding confidence and consistency in a side that looks short on ideas.
