Unlike Thursday’s game at Manchester United, which also ended 1:1, the “Hammers” took the lead. Bowen scored for the fourth time in the season, beating goalkeeper Verbruggen in the 73rd minute. Brighton could have equalized two minutes later, but Wieffer’s cross, which was headed in by West Ham defender Kilman, ended up on the crossbar with the help of goalkeeper Aréola.
The home team only got a goal at the end, when Rutter scored. The goal was still reviewed by VAR due to the alleged hand of the French striker, but in the end he confirmed the goal. West Ham did not win in the sixth consecutive away game and remained in the relegation zone in the table. Brighton are seventh.
