West Ham have presented Tottenham with the opportunity to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone after suffering a damaging 3-0 defeat at Brentford.
Match Report
Konstantinos Mavropanos' own goal, Igor Thaigo's penalty and Mikkel Damsgaard's late third has kept West Ham just two points above Spurs, who now know a victory at Aston Villa on Sunday will move them out of the bottom three.
West Ham hit the woodwork three times, had an equaliser ruled out by VAR and failed to score from 13 shots on a luckless day in west London in which their three-game unbeaten run came to an end and increased their relegation worries.
Meanwhile, Brentford earned their first win in seven matches to strengthen their European bid, moving up to sixth and three points above ninth-placed Chelsea ahead of their home game against Nottingham Forest on Monday at 3pm, live on Sky Sports.
