Defender Nathan Collins scored his first goal for Brentford to seal a comeback victory over West Ham in a highly entertaining encounter at Gtech Community Stadium.
Goals flowed on a cold and wet afternoon in west London and Neal Maupay put the hosts in front early on, volleying beyond Alphonse Areola after West Ham failed to clear their lines.
The Irons, though, hit back with two quickfire goals through Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen to go in at half-time with the advantage.
Brentford came out with intent after the restart and were able to turn the game on its head once again. An own goal from West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos levelled the score, before Collins rose highest to meet Mathias Jensen’s cross for the winner.
The victory is Brentford’s third in succession and moves them up one place to ninth, while West Ham drop to 11th without a win in their past four Premier League games.
