West Ham United were beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the London Stadium on Monday, October 20, 2025. The loss marked their fifth consecutive home defeat, leaving the club in 19th place in the Premier League with just four points from eight matches.
Brentford took control early, with Igor Thiago opening the scoring in the 43rd minute. Thiago had previously hit the crossbar and had a second goal ruled out for offside. In the second half, Mathias Jensen sealed Brentford’s victory with a stoppage-time goal assisted by Keane Lewis-Potter, despite West Ham making three substitutions at halftime.
Under new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, West Ham struggled with organization and cohesion. The team failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, while fan unrest was evident, with over 10,000 empty seats due to a boycott protesting the club's direction.
Brentford earned their first away win of the season, moving up to 13th place with 10 points. Manager Keith Andrews praised his team’s composure and control over the game, particularly noting their dominance in set-pieces and 22 shots on goal.
