#92 Existential Dread

Jack Elderton and Cal Goodall break down West Ham's 0-2 loss to Brentford in the Premier League. Nuno Espírito Santo rung in the changes at the London Stadium on Monday night, with surprise inclusions for West Ham academy graduate Oliver Scarles and Scottish international Andy Irving starting the game against The Bees. Goals from Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen were enough to give Keith Andrews an away league win, the first of his nascent managerial career, with very little response from Nuno's side.
