The full-time whistle blows at the Gtech Community Stadium as an entertaining London derby ends with spoils shared. Mbeumo brilliantly netted after just 39 seconds with a wonderful volley that flew into the top corner as Brentford made Premier League history by becoming the first team to score in the opening minute of three successive games. However, the Hammers avoided a third consecutive defeat thanks to Soucek scrambling a second half equaliser to salvage a crucial point for Julen Lopetegui's outfit. With chances few and far between throughout the 90 minutes, the Bees created an xG of 0.45, while the visitors created an xG of 0.71. Thanks for reading!
