"Unusually devoid of creativity, Brighton had found themselves imprisoned within Nuno Espirito Santo's tactical cage, falling right into his hands. Jarrod Bowen, so often West Ham's talisman, scored the goal, executing the masterplan from the narrowest of angles, perfectly executing the counterattacking strategy. Slowly but surely, still staring demotion in the face, Nuno's team look capable of fighting their way to safety."
"His plan had come together so well that Bowen's goal was supplied by a substitute in Callum Wilson, on the field for just 51 seconds. His masterplan fell short when the Amex, the home of late goals, staged yet another comeback, Georginio Rutter roofing the equaliser amid the type of madcap scramble that is commonplace at Brighton. Before a late surge that had seemed wholly beyond them, Brighton could not muster a shot on target."
Brighton struggled for creativity and were contained by West Ham's low block and counterattacking approach under Nuno Espirito Santo. Jarrod Bowen scored from a narrow angle after a quick substitute layoff from Callum Wilson, who had been on the field for only 51 seconds. Brighton produced a late comeback when Georginio Rutter roofed an equaliser amid a frantic scramble. Brighton managed no shots on target until that late surge. Lucas Paqueta returned from suspension and played centrally, while Danny Welbeck and Rutter returned to Brighton's attack amid poor weather and inconsistent form hindering European ambitions.
