In a match where illness, injury, and suspension impacted both sides, West Ham and Brighton played to a goalless draw. The absence of key players, including West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta, affected the offensive dynamics. Alphonse Areola, West Ham’s goalkeeper, made eight crucial stops, preventing Brighton from breaking the deadlock.

Despite dominating possession, West Ham struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Brighton, missing nine players, welcomed back Adam Webster but had to start veteran James Milner at left wing. The Seagulls crafted better chances, with Areola denying Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro. West Ham’s Pablo Fornals and Tomas Soucek missed opportunities, highlighting their offensive struggles without key players.

The match ended with both teams holding firm defensively, leaving Brighton in seventh place, surpassing Manchester United. As West Ham navigates challenges in the absence of key players, defensive resilience defines the night’s stalemate.
