Wissa scores late for Onyeka’s Brentford to stun West Ham United’s Benrahma

The 25-year-old came on as with eight minutes left to the final whistle and stunned the home crowd with a late strike at London Stadium

Yoane Wissa came off the bench to score a late winner as Brentford stunned Said Benrahma’s West Ham United 2-1 in a Premier League fixture on Sunday.

Despite playing away from home, it was the promoted side who took the lead in the 20th minute when Bryan Mbeumo scored and it took the Hammers until the second half to level the scores courtesy of Jarrod Bowen in the 80th minute.

However, with few minutes left to the final whistle, forward Wissa from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who had come on in the 82nd minute to replace goalscorer Mbeumo, then stunned the crowd at London Stadium after he rifled home the winning goal.
