West Ham United vs Brentford Result and Highlights

Ivan Toney, of Brentford, scored one goal and assisted on another as his team defeated West Ham 2-0 on Friday to inflict the Hammers their fifth straight Premier League defeat and leave the Londoners just above the relegation zone as 2022 comes to a close. Declan Rice, a West Ham midfielder, missed the far post with an early shot, and after 18 minutes, Toney, who had reacted quickly, stabbed the ball in from close range after a long Brentford throw-in. Rice was left to lament his miss.
Just before halftime, Toney turned provider from another throw-in and set up Josh Dasilva to score. The home crowd was upset and booed loudly as the players departed the field. Jarrod Bowen believed he had earned West Ham a penalty early in the second half, but a VAR review determined that the contact with Ben Mee began just outside the area and a free kick was given in its place—a decision that perfectly encapsulated their evening.
The only moment Brentford had cause for fear was when Toney was taken off on a stretcher with what appeared to be a knee injury in stoppage time, despite West Ham's best efforts. With just one point separating West Ham from the bottom two spots after the loss, Brentford climbs up to ninth with 23 points.
