West Ham fans made their voices heard in absentia on Monday night as thousands stayed away from the London Stadium in protest, as the club fell to another home defeat.
As the players on the pitch gave new manager Nuno Espirito Santo another alarming look at the job at hand - with Brentford comfortably winning 2-0 - the stands were littered with empty seats as part of a latest phase of protests organised by supporters' group Hammers United, who asked fans to stay at home for the Monday night derby.
