That was an passage piece of play. A long ball forward, Thiago makes a nuisance of himself, the goalkeeper came miles out of his box and Damsgaard beats him but it just goes the other side of the post. A let off for West Ham.
What an incredible few minutes of play we've had.

Good game this. So far we've had:
Brentford 1-0 West Ham
How'd he miss?!
West Ham keeper Mads Hermansen comes out to intercept a pass over the top but his headed clearance is poor and Mikkel Damsgaard gets on the ball with the keeper in no-man's land!
The goal's gaping, but plenty of West Ham players get back and put Damsgaard off who shoots wide from about 30 yards out.
Dan Ballard (24 mins)
Sunderland are down to 10!
Defender Dan Ballard is sent off for pulling the hair of forward Tolu Arokodare.
If we have learned anything from the Premier League this season, it is that you cannot pull on an opponent's hair.
Wolves have a free-kick inside the Sunderland half.
Dan Burn (24 mins)
And just like that Newcastle have daylight!
Following that rapid breakaway, Bruno Guimaraes whips in a corner and Dan Burn plants a header past Bart Verbruggen having escaped his marker.
Burn used to play for Brighton, but he enjoyed celebrating his first Premier League goal in over a year.

Nick Pope collects the corner and sets a Newcastle break in motion.
William Osula's excellent dummy creates space for Joe Willock to charge down the left, but his attempted ball across the face of goal is cut out.
Brentford 1-0 West Ham
By the barest of margins! Konstantinos Mavropanos timed his run too early, his shoulder's offside!
VAR wipes out West Ham's leveller.
Newcastle 1-0 Brighton
Joel Veltman is booked for some pushing and pulling before a Brighton corner kick.
Wolves 0-1 Sunderland
There is a VAR check ongoing as Sunderland defender Dan Ballard appears to have pulled the hair of Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare.
Paul Tierney is heading to the monitor.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (21 mins)
Atonement!
Konstantinos Mavropanos makes up for his own goal by heading in a wide free-kick. We're level.
But VAR are checking it....
Newcastle 1-0 Brighton
Ciaran Kelly
BBC Sport reporter at St James' Park
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe made some big calls today as he continued to leave £124m worth of strikers on the bench in the form of Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
But William Osula has already repaid the faith of his head coach once again. The Dane has now scored three goals in his past four games.
St James' Park is alive.
Brentford 1-0 West Ham
Almost 1-1! ValentÃn Castellanos collects the ball on the edge of the box, turns, and fires a crisp strike against the base of the post with keeper Kelleher rooted.

That assist is exactly why I love Jacob Murphy. I think we’d have matched last season or bettered it if we started him more.

Brentford didn't have to work too hard for that, and I think it's Mavrapanos has put it into his own net.
Newcastle 1-0 Brighton
Brighton defender Mats Wieffer is replaced by Joel Veltman.
Nordi Mukiele (17 mins)
The visitors are ahead!
Defender Nordi Mukiele climbs highest to connect with Granit Xhaka's in-swinging corner and head home his third goal of the season.
There will be questions asked about the Wolves defending, as Pedro Lima didn't even try and head the ball.
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle 1-0 Brighton
Bad news for Brighton - defender Mats Wieffer has sat down requiring treatment. A substitution is being prepared.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (own goal, 15 mins)
A huge goal! Relegation-threatened West Ham are behind.
Yehor Yarmoliuk whips in a fantastic, deep delivery which ricochets off Michael Kayode and onto the post. Kayode is about to tap in on the follow-up but he's beaten to the ball by Hammers defender Konstantinos Mavropanos who inadvertently chips it into his own net off the underside of the bar on the slide.
Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford 0-0 West Ham
Good keeping from Caoimhin Kelleher who punches away a Jarrod Bowen corner.
At the other end West Ham keeper Mads Hermansen catches Michael Kayode's long throw.
Wolves 0-0 Sunderland
Wolves continue to ask questions of the visitors in the early stages. Hugo Bueno crosses from the left but his delivery has too much on it, leaving Tolu Arokodare and Mateus Mane unable to connect.

Arsenal have never lost in 32 home league games against Fulham (W25 D7), the most any side has faced another without defeat in English Football League history.
Fulham have won just one of their last 15 Premier League games against Arsenal (D4 L10), a 2-1 home win in December 2023.
Fulham have never won a Premier League away game against the league leaders in 13 attempts (D3 L10), with this their first visit since a 2-2 draw at Liverpool in December 2024.
Arsenal have conceded just 11 goals in their 17 Premier League home games this season, and have only failed to find the net themselves at the Emirates once. They’ve conceded more than once just twice at home this term, with those coming in both of their defeats (2-3 v Man Utd, 1-2 v Bournemouth).
Fulham have failed to score in four of their last six league games, though have won both times they’ve found the net in this run (3-1 v Burnley, 1-0 v Aston Villa).
Arsenal have scored 17 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, including their winner against Newcastle United last time out. It’s the outright most corner goals any side has netted in a single campaign in the competition.
Fulham are one of two sides – along with Manchester City – yet to concede a goal in the opening 15 minutes of Premier League matches this season. However, the Cottagers have conceded more goals than anyone else in the first 15 minutes after half-time (12), while Arsenal are the most prolific side in this timeframe (14 goals scored).
All seven of Eberechi Eze’s Premier League goals for Arsenal have come in London. Only Olivier Giroud (first 14) and Tony Adams (first 12) have had more consecutive goals in the capital from the start of their Premier League career for the Gunners.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is the only player to have had 20+ shots (28) and created 20+ chances (22) following a ball carry in the Premier League this season.
Harry Wilson leads all Fulham players for goals (10) and assists (6) in the Premier League this season, while he’s one of just 13 players across the whole division to have played both 100+ passes into the opp box (137) and had 100+ touches in the opposition box (100).
