West Ham United could not find a way through a stubborn Brighton & Hove Albion side on Friday night as their four-game unbeaten run came to an end at the Amex Stadium.
Glenn Murray scored the only goal of the game 25 minutes into the contest, allowing the hosts to drop back and defend their lead – very effectively as it turned out – in the second period.
West Ham dominated territory and possession, but were just unable to make that crucial pass in the final third as Brighton stood firm at the back.
