Brentford are playing host to West Ham at the G-Tech Community Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Bees took a 1-0 lead courtesy of a Konstantinos Mavropanos own goal, but have faced a barrage of chances from the Hammers.
Taty Castellanos has come close to scoring on a number of occasions in what was an eventful first half.
However, Brentford scored a second in the second half, with Igor Thiago scoring from the spot, and that goal put some daylight between the two teams.

Premier League explain why Konstantinos Mavropanos’ goal was ruled out
Mavropanos actually thought they had scored at the right end as well, shortly after being credited with an own goal.
However, his joy was short-lived, as despite the linesman not raising his flag for an offside, the VAR checked and confirmed that he was marginally offside.
The Greece international’s right shoulder was in an offside position, and following a detailed check, Craig Pawson, the on-field referee, was told that the goal should be disallowed.
On initial viewing, Mavropanos did appear to be slightly offside on the far end, and it was something that the VAR panel confirmed as well.
Via X, the Premier League Match Centre announced: “21’ VAR OVERTURN
“VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Mavropanos was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.”
On a scale of 1-10, how impressed have you been with Pablo Felipe? 👀
You'll never sing that 😂🎵
Can West Ham pick up points from their next three games?
The Hammers could not be handed a tougher next fixture as they take on Arsenal, who are expected to be the league leaders come the end of the day.
The positive is that the game is at the London Stadium, but it will be extremely difficult for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to get anything from that one.
After that, they travel to St James’ Park to take on a Newcastle side who have been struggling for form in recent weeks.
Playing Newcastle at their home ground is always a tough one, but there is a possibility of getting something from that one.
Then, on the final day of the season, the Hammers play Leeds United, who should be mathematically safe from relegation by then.
Daniel Farke could play a weakened side, giving West Ham the opportunity to get maximum points from that one.
