West Ham 0 – 2 Brighton



High-flying Brighton comfortably beat West Ham 2-0 at The London Stadium to leave David Moyes’ side without a point after three Premier League games.

Alexis Mac Allister converted from the penalty spot (22) to give Brighton the lead after West Ham’s new-signing Thilo Kehrer, who was making his Premier League debut, made a clumsy challenge on Danny Welbeck.

Leandro Trossard secured Brighton’s victory with a cool finish (66) after Pascal Gross’ neat flick around Kurt Zouma, to take the Seagulls to seven points from three games.

Team news

  • Thilo Kehrer made his Premier League for West Ham following his arrival from PSG
  • David Moyes made eight changes from the team that beat Viborg on Thursday
  • Brighton unchanged after last Saturday’s draw against Newcastle
  • Man Utd target Moises Caicedo started for the Seagulls

Brighton are now fourth after facing Manchester United, Newcastle and West Ham, while the Hammers sit bottom of the table and their winless Premier League run against the Seagulls now stretches to 11 games.
