Everton had four points reinstated on Monday with the Bees now in 16th place after a 4-2 defeat to West Ham United later that evening
After a tough spell, David Moyes is optimistic about West Ham’s future after they defeated Brentford, a rival team in London, 4-2 on Monday night. With Jarrod Bowen scoring his first career hat-trick and leading the squad to its first victory in eight games this year, it was an evening filled with many firsts.
In addition, Bowen’s goal was his first since Christmas, making him the first West Ham player to accomplish a hat trick at London Stadium. With this significant win, the Hammers—who are currently ranked seventh in the table—are back in the running for a European position, despite a lot of talk about their erratic play and Moyes’ future.
“Most teams have difficult periods in the Premier League,” stated Moyes. “Manchester City have, Liverpool have, so West Ham are certainly going to be no different,” Moyes stated. In the first seven minutes of the match, Bowen scored twice, and Brentford quickly responded through Neal Maupay.
Halfway through the second half, Bowen got his third, and then the Bees added another goal through Yoane Wissa and an incredible 20-yard shot from Emerson Palmieri. “I’m really pleased for Jarrod, his performances have gone unnoticed as we’ve not been playing well,” Moyes said.
“Tonight it happened for him, his all-round play, the way he was working, he was a threat all night and hopefully the goals will get him back in (England manager) Gareth (Southgate’s) thinking.” “If you can play wide and you’re a goalscorer you will be of interest to the international manager.”
As the teams emerged from the tunnel for the second half, Maupay and Hammers coach Kevin Nolan were spotted getting into a heated argument. “I honestly had no idea who the argument was with; I had assumed it might have involved the fourth official. I can’t really tell you anything about it because I didn’t witness it,” Moyes remarked.
Following Everton’s points deduction being lowered from 10 to six earlier on Monday, Brentford—which had already been further dragged into the relegation battle—suffered another setback, making it their 12th in 15 games since defeating West Ham at home in November.
We didn’t perform well both individually and as a team today. We lost 4-2 because West Ham played well, Bowen was unplayable, and Emerson hit the top corner’, claimed Bees head coach Thomas Frank.
We’ve been strong at putting on regular performances, so I need to see the game again. We rarely play below our usual calibre in games, and this was only the third time this season that we have fallen short.
To the question of whether the Everton situation mattered, Frank answered, “Absolutely not.” “I think right now I’m very irritated with our performance, that’s the main focus.”
