This game is losing its way a touch as Anthony Knockaert looks to swing a ball in... Sam Byran clears. In comes another lofted ball over the top... Declan Rice concedes a corner.

Pascal Gross gets a corner in.... cleared.

David Moyes warming up for some Saturday night fever it seems. Looks like a mover...

He's been outstanding has Glenn Murray. No way should a 34-year-old be getting the better of three central defenders regularly.

Glenn Murray gets the run on Aaron Cresswell and will get in behind. He lifts his head and looks to pick out José Izquierdo with a low cross but Angelo Ogbonna slides in on the penalty spot.

Brighton 1-1 West Ham

Lewis Dunk slides in to win a ball early but Javier Hernandez gets there before him. That results in the striker being hacked down.

The free-kick comes in and West Ham shout penalty as it hits the arm of Shane Duffy. The whistle has already gone for an infringement though.

Dunk was booked for his foul by the way.

West Ham look that bit more composed at the start of the second half. They work the ball across the field to the right flank and then try to come back the other way but Angelo Ogbonna forgets he's Angelo Ogbonna and not Paolo Maldini. His cross-field pass is about 20ft to high for its target and it's a throw.

We are back on.

A point would be better for West Ham and could of course extend an unbeaten run in the league which goes back to 23 December.

Our friends at Opta tell us that Brighton versus West Ham is the 10,000th match played in Premier League history. In all fairness, it's not a bad advert for the league.

Anthony Knockaert looks key for me. He's at the heart of much of Brighton's good work and has completed 94% of his passes so far - the highest mark on the pitch.

Brighton had plenty of half chances early on but the possession in that opening period is evenly shared.

Here is a look at Gaetan Bong's touch map. He's playing at left-back for Brighton but by our maths, he has around three times as many touches in the opposition half than he does in his own.

That shows you how he's been bombing on. Over 60% of the Brighton play has gone down the left and surely West Ham need to take a look at that during the interval.

A good half of football on the south coast.

West Ham were slow to start and looked a bit jaded so David Moyes would have given anything to be level at the break when his side fell behind to Glenn Murray's strike.

Javier Hernandez wound the clock back a little with his own fine finish and this looks like it will be fiercely contested after the break as a result.

Dale Stephens makes a key defensive header at the back post to concede a corner. In it comes, Shane Duffy heads away this time. Brighton will break... Anthony Knockaert... heavy touch and Pablo Zabaleta gets a foot in.

Here's a look back on that Javier Hernandez finish. West Ham could be ahead as Sam Byram ghosts in at the back post to meet an Aaron Cresswell cross but he heads over. That was another decent chance. They are finishing the half the better of the two sides after starting it appallingly.

They win a free-kick near the corner flag...

A brief lull all of a sudden as these sides settle after a frenetic opening.

Javier Hernandez ovehits a cross-field pass to give away a throw in and we are starting to see more of Joao Mario now as he's picking the ball up in pockets.

The Brazilian tries to get on the end off a cross but can't quite get enough on it to find the target.

Javier Hernandez just kicked the ball into his own face and now he needs treatment. That's football eh? Goalscorer one minute, chump the next.

Gaetan Bong has had more touches than anyone else on the pitch with 32. You can see his impact as the left back is getting up the pitch and much of the home sides play is down that flank.

Again he races forward to cross... the ball breaks back out of the area and Anthony Knockaert slams over from 25 yards.

A good game in progress, largely because of the likes of Bong showing plenty of energy.

This is a good game. Hand on heart, I didn't think it would be.

Brighton swarm forward, brought to life by the fact that suddenly West Ham look interested.

The ball is played left in the area to the overlapping Gaetan Bong and he cuts it back for Anthony Knockaert. His first time shot is blocked by the left arm of Angelo Ogbonna.

It was point blank but Ogbonna's hand was raised. Seen them given many times.

Off the line (well, kind of).

A fine cross from the left and Sam Byram gets in at the back post to head down. It has Mat Ryan diving in goal but Shane Duffy blocks it a yard out from goal before the keeper is required.

That's a good chance and by far the closest West Ham have come.
