West Ham's fight for Premier League survival continues along the winding roads of London this afternoon against Brentford at the Gtech Stadium.
The Hammers, who sit just outside of the bottom three and ahead of Tottenham in the race to secure their place in the English top flight, will be made to fight tooth and nail this afternoon after going 1-0 down against the Bees.
An own goal from defensive stalwart Konstantinos Mavropanos gifted Keith Andrews' outfit the opener in the 15th minute, making the key Hammers lieutenant one of five players to score multiple own goals in the Premier League this season.
It could not have been a more unfortunate moment for the Greek international and former Arsenal defender, with the 27-year-old proving influential in recent results against Wolves (4-0 win) and Manchester City (1-1 draw), finding the back of the net on three occasions across the two fixtures.
He nearly scored the equaliser less than ten minutes later before VAR intervened to judge the centre-back for being fractionally offside.
Will his luck turn or are the Irons set to give Spurs a huge chance to leapfrog them?
