West Ham defeated relegation-threatened Brentford 4-2 at the London Stadium, capping a nine-match losing streak in all competitions thanks to Jarrod Bowen's first career hat-trick. The attacker opened his account for the game in just five minutes, scoring from inside the box less than a minute after Tomas Soucek had wasted a clear opportunity from close range. Within the first 13 minutes, Bowen scored his second goal, slipping Vladimir Coufal's low cross into the bottom corner. However, Neal Maupay's goal cut the lead in half.
From then on, things calmed down as the Hammers, especially Mohammed Kudus, missed a few shots. But after the interval, they put the game out of reach. Emerson added the cherry on top with a fantastic long-range shot, and Bowen completed his trifecta with a header.
