West Ham Plunges Into Crisis After Fourth Consecutive Home Loss to Brentford

West Ham United's struggles in the Premier League deepened as they suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Brentford, marking their fourth consecutive home loss this season. Brentford dominated the match, taking a club record 22 shots, and scored through Igor Thiago just before halftime and Mathias Jensen in stoppage time. West Ham's defense was repeatedly troubled by Brentford's long balls, and the home team's performance was described as disappointing by new coach Nuno Espirito Santo, who acknowledged the anxiety felt by players and fans alike. The London Stadium saw a significant number of empty seats due to a fan boycott protesting the club owners' management. West Ham now sits 19th with just four points from eight games and the worst goal difference in the league, while Brentford improved to 13th with 10 points. Espirito Santo emphasized the need for responsibility, commitment, and hard work to reverse their fortunes and bring supporters back.
