Premier league var brentford west ham

On May 2, 2026, VAR made headlines in the Premier League as it disallowed a goal for West Ham United, significantly affecting the match outcome against Brentford FC, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for West Ham.

Brentford’s scoring began with an own goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos. VAR intervened to rule out another potential goal by Mavropanos due to offside. The Premier League Match Centre stated, “VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Mavropanos was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.” This decision left West Ham frustrated.

The match, held at the G-Tech Community Stadium, saw Igor Thiago convert a penalty and Mikkel Damsgaard add a third goal for Brentford. This victory secured Brentford’s 10th clean sheet of the season.

Attendance for this match reached 17,194 fans. Despite their efforts, West Ham hit the woodwork four times but failed to score any goals during the game.

Thiago’s performance this season has been notable; he has scored 25 goals, including 8 penalties. His contributions have been vital for Brentford as they continue to push up the Premier League table.

Mikkel Damsgaard reflected on the game, saying, “We played a good game; we knew it was going to be tough.” This win propelled Brentford to sixth place in the league standings.

Looking ahead, West Ham will face Arsenal in their next match. They will need to regroup quickly after this disappointing result.
