David Moyes has no complaints as West Ham fall to poor defeat against Brentford

David Moyes admitted his West Ham side deserved nothing as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League.

Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney scored in the second-half, with the Hammers managing just a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.

West Ham came into the match off the back of a tough 1-1 draw against Lyon in the Europa League and have the second-leg to come on Thursday, and they will have to put in a much better performance in France than they managed at the Brentford Community Stadium.

“No I don’t have any complaints, we weren’t at it from the start,” Moyes told BBC Sport.

“There are mitigating circumstances, we had a tough game on Thursday and the Thursday-Sunday schedule is not ideal. The most part has been good but today felt like one too many.

“I said to the lads I don’t remember giving anything of quality for their goalkeeper to do. That is not like us but it wasn’t to be today.

“It was a big opportunity today for us to get three points. We had to come here to get a result but Premier League games are hard. If anything, this weekend showed it.”
