London, Oct 21 (NationPress) Brentford achieved their inaugural Premier League away victory this season with a decisive 2-0 triumph over West Ham, overshadowing Nuno Espirito Santo's debut home game as manager of the struggling Hammers.

The visitors, who had previously suffered defeats in all three of their away league matches, displayed superior performance throughout the match. Goals from Igor Thiago and substitute Mathias Jensen ensured another disappointing loss for West Ham, leaving them languishing at 19th place in the standings.

Brentford took the lead in the 43rd minute when West Ham failed to clear a long ball. Kevin Schade assisted Thiago, who delivered a low shot that barely crossed the line despite a touch from Alphonse Areola.

Thiago appeared to have doubled the lead just before half-time, but the goal was correctly disallowed for offside. The officials reverted to last season's manual offside rules after a global technology failure affected the Premier League's semi-automated system.

Frustrated by the booing from the home crowd at halftime, Nuno made three defensive substitutions to stabilize his team. However, Brentford maintained dominance and nearly scored again when Schade hit the bar from close range shortly after the hour mark.

West Ham struggled to create any equalizing opportunities, and their frustrations culminated when Jensen sealed Brentford's victory in stoppage time, blasting the ball into the roof of the net for all three points.

This marks the second instance in their history that West Ham has lost five consecutive home games in the top flight, the last occurrence being in April 1931.

On the other hand, Brentford has secured two wins in their last three Premier League matches (with one loss), surpassing their prior seven-game stretch that resulted in just two draws and four losses, while also breaking a run of four away matches without a victory (one draw, three losses).
