"Brighton left it late to salvage a point as Georginio Rutter's stoppage-time strike earned a 1-1 draw against West Ham at the Amex Stadium. Jarrod Bowen had earlier put the visitors ahead during a second half in which they carried most of the threat, but Brighton's persistence eventually paid off after a largely flat performance in front of goal. The opening stages were slow, with both sides struggling to gain any rhythm on a wet afternoon in Sussex."
"Bowen forced Verbruggen into a sharp save from distance, before the goalkeeper reacted quickly to deny Summerville's close-range volley in a remarkable double stop. Brighton struggled to build any momentum and continued to labour in the final third, failing to register a shot on target until the 90th minute. The visitors made a triple substitution on 82 minutes, shortly after Summerville had gone close again on the counter."
Georginio Rutter's stoppage-time volley earned Brighton a 1-1 draw with West Ham after Jarrod Bowen had given West Ham the lead. West Ham carried most of the threat, emerging stronger after the restart with Bowen and Crysencio Summerville creating several chances. Bart Verbruggen produced important saves, including a long-range stop from Lucas Paqueta and a remarkable double stop to deny Summerville. Brighton controlled periods of possession but lacked penetration and failed to register a shot on target until the 90th minute. Callum Wilson's introduction sparked the move that led to Bowen's opener, before Brighton's late persistence produced the equaliser.
