David Moyes admitted he would have been \u201cdisgusted\u201d with himself as a player if he had made some of the mistakes West Ham made against Brentford.<\/p>\n
The Hammers\u2019 Brentford curse struck again after Nathan Collins condemned them to a 3-2 defeat on an unlikely afternoon of firsts in west London.<\/p>\n
Defender Collins scored his first goal for the club after Jarrod Bowen became the first player in Premier League history to score in each of his side\u2019s first six away matches.<\/p>\n
There was also a first goal in 35 matches, and 14 months, for Brentford forward Neal Maupay.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for West Ham, it was a first Premier League win \u2013 or even point \u2013 against the Bees which eluded them. Thomas Frank\u2019s side have the hoodoo over the Hammers having won all five meetings since they were promoted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe weren\u2019t talking about anything weird and wonderful,\u201d said former centre-half Moyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve found that we\u2019ve not dealt with things which as a player I would have been disgusted with myself for not being able to deal with them much better.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think my teams do that. That is why I am annoyed that I\u2019ve come here and not been able to defend when put under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maupay headed Brentford into a 10th-minute lead with his first goal since he scored against West Ham in September 2022.<\/p>\n
West Ham equalised through a stunning volley from Ghana winger Mohammed Kudus and were ahead after 26 minutes through Bowen\u2019s strike.<\/p>\n
But a glaring miss from Michail Antonio before half-time proved costly as West Ham fell foul of two Brentford crosses, with an own goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos and Collins\u2019 fine header giving Brentford a third straight win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first goal was \u2018Keystone Cops\u2019,\u201d added Moyes. \u201cIf you see that today, how can you win if you don\u2019t deal with those moments?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second cross comes from (Bryan) Mbuemo and we should have dealt with that, then a cross to the back post and Collins gets it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re talking about small things, but small things lead to bigger things. We didn\u2019t deal well enough with the small things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brentford climbed above West Ham after a third straight victory and a 14th London derby without defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf feels of course very good,\u201d said Frank. \u201cEvery win in the Premier League feels fantastic and coming back from 2-1 down, against a good team, and also a good performance makes me a happy man.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m smiling, I\u2019m so pleased for Neal. The last three weeks he was showing more and more in training with the sharp touches, the good finishes, more and more confident, getting up to his best level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players were really celebrating Neal\u2019s goal, and that tells you a lot about the group. A goalscoring run? That would be nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
