West Ham 0-2 Brentford: Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen goals

Not since 1931 have the Hammers lost five in a row at home but this is a football club struggling to find any cohesion or conviction despite changing their head coach from Graham Potter to Nuno Espirito Santo.

Brentford were dominant across the pitch with Igor Thiago opening the scoring after 43 minutes, the striker netting with Brentford's 15th shot of the first half, before Mathias Jensen wrapped up the points in stoppage time.

The opening goal came courtesy of Max Kilman's poor attempt at clearing a long ball which allowed Kevin Schade to nip in behind and hook the ball to Thiago, whose finished spun inside the far post.

Areola got a hand to his shot but the ball spun away and nestled inside the far post.

The Bees really should have ran away with the score further but Thiago hit the crossbar, had a goal ruled out for a tight offside call and the excellent Kevin Schade also smacked the woodwork.

Nuno's first home match in charge coincided with a planned stay-away organised by supporters' groups in protest against the club's board and those that stayed away missed little change in their side's fortunes.

West Ham created just 0.33 worth of expected goals - the fourth lowest of any home team in a game this season - and posted just one shot on target in a worryingly display that leaves them second bottom on just four points.

Nuno: We have a problem at home

Nuno Espirito Santo on issues with atmosphere at home:

"I think we are all concerned. You can feel it from our own fans. You can see that they are concerned. And then this concern becomes in silence. That silence becomes an anxiety. And we have a problem.

"It's understandable. Since I arrived, clear awareness that it's up to us to change this.
