Matchday Gallery | Kudus and Bowen give Hammers lead at Brentford
Kudus #Kudus
West Ham United fell to a 3-2 defeat at Brentford in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon.
Just one point separated the Irons and the Bees in the Premier League table at kick-off, but it was the hosts who took the lead on ten minutes as Neal Maupay was able to head home from close range for the Bees.
However, just eight minuted later, Mohammed Kudus scored an exquisite leveller – his second brilliant goal in as many games – as he volleyed in a brilliant finish from Michail Antonio’s cross.
On 26 minutes, Bowen put the Hammers in front, tucking home after Kudus had hit the post. The No20, in netting, set a Premier League record for consecutive away games scored in at the start of a season.
West Ham held the lead into half-time but, amid a bright start to the second half for the hosts, the Bees found an equaliser on 55 minutes. The bright Mbuemo whipped in a cross, one that Konstantinos Mavropanos could only turn into his own net.
The hosts retook the advantage on 69 minutes as Nathan Collins headed in at the back post from Mathias Jensen’s cross.
Club photographers Jimmy Griffiths and Jordan Rowsel were on hand to capture all the action at the Gtech Community Stadium, which you can view in our matchday gallery above!
