Nathan Collins was the hero for Brentford on Saturday afternoon, with the Irishman's first goal for the club ultimately winning the day against West Ham in a 3-2 thriller.
The lead changed hands twice as Brentford fought back from 2-1 down with two second-half goals - both of which involved the Irish centre-back.
The 22-year-old first forced an error from Hammers defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, and the own goal drew Brentford level with just over half an hour to play.
The winner would then come 14 minutes later from the head of Collins, as he rose highest in the penalty area to secure a thrilling win for the home side.
Collins moved to Brentford from Wolves this summer for an Irish record fee, and has worked his way up to being a first team regular alongside Ethan Pinnock in the Brentford defence.
Pinnock, Collins, and Kristoffer Ajer all earned widespread praise for their display in last Saturday's win at Stamford Bridge - and Collins was once again the hero this Saturday, with ex-Ireland international Kenny Cunningham saying his compatriot looked "at home" in red and white.

Nathan Collins scores winner for Brentford v West Ham
Kenny Cunningham appeared on Premier Sports' coverage of Brentford v West Ham, and said that Nathan Collins had grown from strength to strength at his new club.
Cunningham noted that Brentford's style of play is perfectly suited to Collins, and that his partnership with Pinnock was only elevating his level.
Above all, however, Cunningham said the Leixlip man looked "at home" in west London, and hoped that he would continue to grow into the player Irish fans know he can be:
It genuinely looks as though he's found a home here.
It looks as though there's a partnership between him and Pinnock at centre-half, they compliment each other very well.
I think the team play to his strengths. They allow him to get on the ball, pass into midfield, they can go back to front...he just looks as though he's enjoying his football at the minute.
We already know as Irish fans not the potential quality he has, but the quality which he has shown already and is beginning to show more often on a weekly basis in the Premiership.
Both Cunningham and Damien Delaney would joke that the header which won the game for Brentford on Saturday was not dissimilar to that which nearly earned a draw for Ireland against France in March, before a stunning save from Mike Maignan.
Brentford now sit in 9th in the Premier League table, after three wins on the bounce.
