West Ham were twice pegged back by Brighton as the relegation-threatened Hammers failed to win for an eighth Premier League match in a row.<\/p>\n
A chaotic encounter featured three penalties being awarded in the first half of a Premier League game for only the second time – Danny Welbeck scored and then missed for Brighton before Lucas Paqueta converted for West Ham.<\/p>\n
Joel Veltman bundled in Brighton’s second equaliser of the evening before both sides spurned chances to win it.<\/p>\n
Brighton started on top but Jarrod Bowen converted West Ham’s first chance after running on to Paqueta’s through ball in the 10th minute.<\/p>\n
Welbeck equalised from the penalty spot 20 minutes later after Yankuba Minteh was tripped in the box by Max Kilman, but two minutes later hit the crossbar with a second spot-kick after Paqueta inexplicably rugby-tackled Lewis Dunk to the ground.<\/p>\n
A video assistant referee (VAR) review just before half-time resulted in West Ham being awarded their own penalty after Dunk blocked Callum Wilson’s goalbound shot with his arm.<\/p>\n
Paqueta converted in the fourth minute of stoppage time, becoming the second player in Premier League history to both score and concede a penalty in the first half of a match.<\/p>\n
Brighton wanted another penalty early in the second half when substitute Kaoru Mitoma went down, but equalised from the following corner when Alphonse Areola palmed the ball into Veltman’s path.<\/p>\n
Bart Verbruggen denied Bowen an instant response from a header, before Areola was required to keep out Mitoma and Georginio Rutter at the other end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham were twice pegged back by Brighton as the relegation-threatened Hammers failed to win for an eighth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-379557","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
