Thanks to an own goal, as well as goals from Igor Thiago and Damsgaard, Brentford secured a 3-0 victory over West Ham in the 35th round of the Premier League. Keith Andrews expressed his appreciation for the energy his team displayed from the start of the match and urged them to continue finding ways to win.
In the 15th minute of the match, West Ham defender Mavropanos inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net while attempting to clear it, giving Brentford a 1-0 lead.
In the 54th minute of the second half, Malik Diouf fouled Dango Watara, and the referee awarded Brentford a penalty. Igor Thiago then converted the penalty, giving Brentford a 2-0 lead over West Ham. In the 82nd minute, Lewis Porter crossed the ball into the penalty area, and Damsgaard met it with a shot to make it 3-0.
Brentford ultimately secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over West Ham at home. Returning to winning ways, Brentford currently sits in 7th place in the league table with 51 points, continuing their pursuit of European qualification.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews said, "To be honest, I don't even know where to begin. It's been really special, and I love the energy the team has shown from the start. The fans have been fantastic and understand how important this game is to us; it's a crucial game for us."
“I also emphasized to the players the importance of winning and finding a way to win. We’ve actually been performing quite well recently, but we haven’t earned the points we deserve, so it feels great to win this game.”
In addition, Damsgaard, who helped Brentford secure 3 points, said in an interview, "We played a very good game, and we knew it would be a tough match. We had some good performances, but it's always been difficult to win, so it's really great to get 3 points in this game."
"Lewis Porter passed me the ball, and I took the opportunity to shoot, and the ball went right between his legs. It was really good, and a great way to finish the game."
In addition, Brentford will travel to Manchester City for their next Premier League match.
Damsgaard continued, "I am very satisfied, and with three games left in the league, we will strive for a better ranking."
