""I am gutted, it feels like loss. We did so much to get into the lead. We sat back too far and invited the pressure," Bowen told Sky Sports. "You wanted to protect the lead, but we got them too much. We got a point, but it feels like a loss. "We limited most of the games, and they didn't have lots to do in goal. The way the manager wants to play, we have all bought into that.""
""We got ourselves into a good position and nearly had more goals, and then they managed to equalise. They have scored lots of late goals against us in the past." It is a familiar theme for West Ham, with only Newcastle United and Leeds United (six) conceding more 90th minute goals in the top-flight this season than the Hammers (five)."
Jarrod Bowen scored in the 73rd minute to give West Ham a 1-0 lead, but Georginio Rutter levelled in the 91st minute to make it 1-1. Brighton recorded all four of their shots on target from the 89th minute onwards, including the equaliser, and moved up to seventh in the table. Expected-goals figures favoured Brighton (1.7 from 22 shots) over West Ham (1.1 from 14 attempts). West Ham conceded their fifth 90th-minute goal this season, a recurring late-goal problem that left the captain and team frustrated.
