Brentford stay on track for a top-half finish then, while West Ham have bigger fish to fry next week. They could still end the season with silverware. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Brentford's win lifts them above fellow West Londoners Fulham to ninth in the Premier League. They attempted a season-high 24 shots in this game. They're having a great season. West Ham stay 15th. They're technically still at risk of relegation, but they've got bigger fish to fry next week.
Brentford have completed the double over West Ham! The Bees wrapped up the win in the first half with goals from Mbuemo and Wissa. The visitors might have mounted a comeback had Ings' disallowed goal in the second half stood, but in truth they wouldn't have deserved it.
