WEST HAM will regard this as a well-won point, but must wonder what would have happened if they’d got on the front foot prior to going two behind.
The opening half was a pretty nondescript affair, with the two sides largely cancelling each other out. The best chances fell to Felipe Anderson and Marko Arnautovic, but Brighton keeper David Button saved both efforts.
Seven minutes into the second half, Anderson broke forward from midfield but saw his shot from just outside the penalty area whistle inches wide of the right-hand upright.
