Brentford 1-1 West Ham: How do Brentford keep scoring in the first minute?

So is it just luck, or are Brentford putting extra effort into trying to make a quick start?

Frank has suggested it is a bit of both.

“Of course there is planning that goes into it,” Frank said. “We have a kick-off strategy and we tweak it from game to game. And as a mindset and philosophy, we like to get straight on the front foot and be positive.

“There are some margins going our way of course, but I want to give credit to the coaching staff and the players.”

After pulling it off against Spurs and Manchester City, West Ham had braced themselves for an early assault on their goal from Brentford.

“We have to be embarrassed,” West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek said.

“We saw how they scored those two goals [against Tottenham and Manchester City] and they did it against us.

“We all prepared very well for it and we still conceded.”

Former Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott told BBC Match of the Day: “We talk about quick starts, it is like a rugby start. T

“They commit numbers forward, and what is important is the second balls they pick up. They are committing defenders, putting the balls into areas. You can see the numbers moving up the field.”
