Brentford Edges Out West Ham in Tight London Derby
Brentford secured a 1-0 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium on February 15th, 2025, in a Premier League clash. Despite having less possession (41%), Brentford proved more clinical in front of goal.
The only goal of the game came early, in the 4th minute, courtesy of Kevin Schade. West Ham, who dominated possession with 59% and registered 13 shots (3 on target), were unable to breach Brentford’s resolute defense. Despite their greater number of shots and corner kicks (8), a lack of accuracy proved costly.
The match was a tense affair, with a total of 22 fouls committed (9 by West Ham and 13 by Brentford), and two yellow cards, one for each side (Soucek for West Ham and Damsgaard for Brentford). A disallowed goal for Brentford in the 41st minute, due to offside, added to the drama. Despite West Ham’s late efforts, Brentford held on for a vital three points.
