West Ham United vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

West Ham 4-2 Brentford: Jarrod Bowen’s first career hat-trick ended the Hammers’ six-game winless run in the Premier League and lifted the pressure on Thomas Frank

Moyes on West `Ham's shocking 6-0 defeat

Jarrod Bowen scored a hat-trick as West Ham beat bogey side Brentford 4-2 to ease the pressure on David Moyes.

The Hammers won their first match of 2024, with Bowen scoring his first goals since before Christmas, to end a miserable run of eight games without a victory which had prompted more questions about the manager’s future.

Played five, lost five was their sorry Premier League record against Brentford, the only team of the 43 Moyes had faced in the top flight and not previously beaten.

Finally the rot was stopped as Brentford, already plunged deeper into the relegation scrap earlier on Monday following Everton’s points deduction being reduced from 10 to six, suffered another defeat - their 12th in 15 matches since beating West Ham at home in November.

This has been a completely different West Ham side to the one we've seen in recent weeks. The return of Paqueta just seems to have lifted the whole team. They're coasting towards three points now.
