It’s happened before. Recently even. Wolves were promoted to the Premier League and finished seventh, securing European football. Currently, Brentford occupy that position.
It is with thanks to their substitute Yoane Wissa that Thomas Frank’s side are flying so high. His winner, with the last kick of the game, saw the visitors snatch all three points at the London Stadium. Not bad for a ‘bus stop in Hounslow’, as the away supporters were singing.
West Ham thought they’d done enough to leave with a draw when Jarrod Bowen equalised late on. They’d grown frustrated at Brentford’s sneaky tactics.
