"The Hammers carried the greater attacking threat for long periods of the contest. Lucas Paqueta tested Bart Verbruggen from distance during the first half, while the Brighton goalkeeper made a wonderful double save after the break to deny Bowen and Crysencio Summerville. Nuno Espirito Santo's side did break through, though, in the 73rd minute, with Bowen sliding onto Callum Wilson's pass and steering the ball into the far corner."
"Despite their late heroics, Brighton have now failed to win any of their last six Premier League home games against opponents starting the day in the relegation zone (D6). Meanwhile, only Newcastle United and Leeds United (both six) have conceded more goals in the 90th minute or later in the division this season than West Ham (five). Brighton failed to register a single shot on target through the opening 88 minutes of a top-flight game for the first time since March 2022 against Tottenham."
Georginio Rutter's 91st-minute equaliser rescued Brighton to a 1-1 draw after Jarrod Bowen put West Ham ahead in the 73rd minute. West Ham carried the greater attacking threat; Lucas Paqueta tested Bart Verbruggen and the Brighton goalkeeper made a double save to deny Bowen and Crysencio Summerville. Bowen finished from Callum Wilson's pass, and Mats Wieffer saw a deflected cross tipped onto the bar by Alphonse Areola. Rutter's fierce low drive survived a VAR handball check. Bowen's Premier League goal involvement tally for West Ham reached 99 (60 goals, 39 assists), and Rutter's goal was his first of the season from his 19th shot.
