Alphonse Areola News: Concedes two in loss

Areola made four saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-0 loss to Brentford.

Areola started in goal for West Ham and had a difficult night, conceding two goals while making four saves. He was beaten by Igor Thiago's opener, which came from a well-worked attack. The match exposed West Ham's defensive frailties rather than highlighting any individual brilliance from Areola. The French goalkeeper will look to deliver a stronger performance against Leeds United on Friday as he continues to search for his first clean sheet of the Premier League season.
