It would not have felt right if Neal Maupay’s first goal in 35 appearances had not come in a Brentford win. After all, it is what Thomas Frank’s side do against West Ham, whose third consecutive defeat in the Premier League could be explained only partially by their wastefulness when they were dominating the first half.
If David Moyes found himself struggling to understand how a performance featuring a stunning goal from Mohammed Kudus had not yielded a reward, he need only look at how his team ceded the initiative during yet another flat second half. It is not enough to point at Michail Antonio failing to convert an open goal when West Ham were 2-1 up and in control midway through the first half.
