Brentford thrash West Ham to tighten relegation race as Spurs eye lifeline

Brentford defeated West Ham 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with West Ham hitting the woodwork four times before conceding a late Thiago penalty after a Mavropanos own goal and a Damsgaard finish. The defeat leaves West Ham just two points above the relegation zone and opens a possible escape route for Tottenham, who have a game in hand and can overtake them with a win at Aston Villa as the survival scramble heads toward the final fixtures.
