West Ham 1-1 Brighton: Kudus cancels out Wieffer as spoils shared

Mohammed Kudus rescued a point for West Ham as they drew 1-1 with Brighton on Saturday.

The Hammers remain without a win in their eight Premier League meetings with the Seagulls at the London Stadium and could have suffered another defeat later on.

Mats Wieffer smashed home his first Brighton goal to put Fabian Hurzeler's side ahead in the 51st minute, although Kudus restored parity just before the hour mark.

But West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski saved a point for his side in second-half stoppage time, producing a brilliant save from close range to deny substitute Yasin Ayari.

There is no change in the table for either party. West Ham remain 14th with 20 points – five fewer than Brighton, who remain ninth after missing the chance to move up to sixth.

Data Debrief: Seagulls succeed where Farah and Bolt do not

Brighton, unable to maintain their lead, have now failed to win any of their last eleven Premier League games in London.

Nevertheless, unlike Mo Farah and Usain Bolt, the Seagulls have never been beaten at the London Stadium since their existence.

Meanwhile, West Ham have picked up a point for the first time this season after conceding the first goal in a home Premier League game.
