West Ham boss David Moyes felt defeat at Brentford was self-inflicted.

The Hammers came out on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline at the Brentford Community Stadium, as Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney took advantage of two moments of slack defending to give his side the points.

Moyes said, "It wasn't very good and we didn't get an awful lot of intensity in the game.

"We muddled through the first half, which I thought was the important bit to give ourselves a chance.

"But half-time didn't go well in as much as we came out two minutes late and we gave a goal away.

"The two goals were really poor goals to give away. There's a bit of fatigue from Thursday night, but overall that's no excuse for the two goals we gave away today.

"They've been brilliant over the season but today felt a little flat.

"Obviously we had a big game in midweek and have got another one to come, and we're trying to win these games.

"We don't want to give our league position up – we're trying to fight to either get fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and be in Europe again, so we have to come here and try to win.

"It's not easy to come to Brentford, they're in good form, but I thought it was a low-level game in the first half and we gave them a lift up by giving them the goal right at the start of the second half."
