West Ham and Brighton Play to 1-1 Draw in Premier League Clash

Mohammed Kudus' equalizer salvages a point for West Ham as Brighton extend their winless streak to five games.

Brighton took the lead in the 51st minute with Mats Wieffer scoring his first Premier League goal after a misjudged clearance by West Ham's goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
West Ham equalized seven minutes later when Mohammed Kudus headed in a rebound after Jarrod Bowen's shot was saved by Brighton's Bart Verbruggen.
Both teams struggled offensively in a lackluster first half, marked by minimal goalmouth action and ineffective performances from key players, including West Ham's Niclas Füllkrug on his Premier League debut.
Brighton pushed hard for a winner in the closing stages, but chances by Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari were either blocked or saved, leaving the game deadlocked.
The result leaves West Ham 14th in the Premier League table with 20 points, while Brighton sit in 9th place with 25 points, continuing their five-game winless run.
