    No. Liverpool see the game out and claim the three points.

    It is a game that will be remembered as the Wout Faes own goal fest.

    Leicester led but the Foxes defender's two own goals - the first bizarre, the second unfortunate - turned it around.

    Poor lad.

    Not long left for Liverpool to hold on.

    Leicester have a throw in. Time for one last chance?

    Leicester can't capitalise.

    The initial ball is chipped in, with Jordan Henderson going down after a challenge with Daniel Amartey. The Foxes man wins the ball and sends it into the box, but Alisson is fouled and the attack ends.

    The Foxes do have a free-kick in the Liverpool half.

    It would be some redemption for Faes to nick them a point!

    I wonder if it might be worth Leicester sending Wout Faes up front?

    Have Leicester got one final sting in their tail?

    A few minutes ago, Darwin Nunez had an effort at goal.

    It was his 50th shot in the Premier League this season. Only four players have attempted more in the division in 2022-23 despite this only being the Liverpool forward's ninth game.

    Speaking of injuries, Harvey Elliott is hobbling after a heavy tackle. Jurgen Klopp takes no chances, taking him off and sending on Stefan Bajcetic, who scored at Villa last time out.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold also departs. Joe Gomez his replacement.

    We're into the last five minutes.

    FT: West Ham 0-2 Brentford

    John Hunt
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Talk about a game of two halves. West Ham contributed massively to the entertainment levels in the first half with six or seven good chances and Declan Rice, but the damage was done by Brentford in that first half.

    West Ham were dizzy after that. They played well but didn't know what had hit them. The second half was lacklustre with a capital 'L' from them, and Brentford cruised to victory.

    Thomas Frank and the Bees players lap up some very deserved applause from the away end.

    Frank is doing a heck of a job with the Bees.

    He'll be hoping that injury to Ivan Toney isn't too bad, though. The player himself certainly gave the impression it was a bad one.

    Save!

    Darwin Nunez breaks at speed and finds Mo Salah in the box via fluffed clearance from a Leicester man. Salah has to turn before seeing his shot pushed aside by Danny Ward.

    Should have passed it to Wout Faes.

    On another night, Nunez could have had a hat-trick. We said that against Man City. We said that against Aston Villa.

    An impressive display and result from Brentford that leaves West Ham and their manager David Moyes in all sorts of trouble.

    Boos? You bet there were.

    Harvey Barnes hits the bar, but the flag is up!

    It wasn't the winger offside, though, it was Jamie Vardy who moved a fraction early to collect the ball before setting up Barnes.

    It shows Leicester can still get at Liverpool.

    We're into added time to the added time now after that Ivan Toney injury.

    It's not going to help West Ham, though. Even if they get one now, it'll be too little too late.

    A very sour note to end what is likely to be an otherwise fine night for Brentford.

    Ivan Toney us driven off the pitch on a stretcher, still holding his face.

    It does not look good for the Bees top scorer. Pontus Jansson comes on for him.

    Kelechi Iheanacho is on for Leicester now and has a chance to do some damage.

    He spurns it, though, sending in a low cross that is nowhere near Harvey Barnes in the box. The ball is hacked away.

    Clearly some miscommunication there.

    Ivan Toney is not in a good way.

    He has his arms over his face and is rocking in clear distress.
