Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Brighton & Hove Albion FC to score. At the same time, West Ham United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. David Moyes will be considering his options from the bench.
10' Cucurella is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for West Ham United FC so far.
15' Brighton & Hove Albion FC have won 458 goals from 338 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
30' West Ham United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
40' Michail Antonio adds to his 0 season tally! West Ham United FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tomas Soucek on 42.
46' A tactical swap from Brighton & Hove Albion FC — Neal Maupay on, Yves Bissouma off on 46 minutes.
50' Against the run of play, Joel Veltman has scored! This game has turned on its head.
55' The 36-year-old Aaron Cresswell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
60' West Ham United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
65' The travelling West Ham United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
70' Over 70 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
75' Brighton & Hove Albion FC make a change. Solomon March trudges off to be replaced by Tariq Lamptey on 75 minutes.
79' Time for substitution for Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Moises Caicedo is replaced by Enock Mwepu.
80' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Pascal Gross makes it 2-1.
81' West Ham United FC make a change. Vladimir Coufal trudges off to be replaced by Ben Johnson on 81 minutes.
82' Ben Johnson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vladimir Coufal on 82 minute.
84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Neal Maupay on 84.
89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Declan Rice suffering a number of foals already.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Brighton & Hove Albion FC players.
