    This is basically how it goes when teams beat Brighton - see everton, palace, Fulham (goalless but same effect) last season. Smash and grab multiple times. Hope other teams don't realise this tactic...

    I nearly sent a message before the game saying a central midfield of a Milner and Gilmour looked like a weak link... Perhaps Caicedo is worth £115m after all.

    Not a penalty at all.

    Coufal doesn't put his arm out, it is just helping him to land as he slides to stop the cross.

    Brighton 1-3 West Ham

    Brighton shout for a penalty for handball against Vladimir Coufal but he is sliding so it's allowed.

    That's all Brighton know, to keep going and going.

    Typical Pascal Gross from the edge of the box, feints to go on his left then takes the shot on his right.

    Areola unsighted, and the crowd are right behind the team now.

    Brighton win a corner. Another goal would make things very interesting.

    Any chance United can swap Martial and Anthony for Antonio and Bowen two players who work their socks off brilliantly

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 80 mins

    Brighton 0-3 West Ham

    West Ham almost do it again from a counter-attack. Lovely link-up play on the right between Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen, whose cross is turned against the crossbar by a Brighton player.

    West Ham defenders will be licking their lips at all of these crosses coming in.

    They've got Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Alvarez all back there just gunning to win the first contact every time.

    West Ham bring off goalscorer Michail Antonio for a defender in Thilo Kehrer. Who can blame David Moyes?

    Brighton's final ball has been shocking today. They can get to the final third OK but no further. Kaoru Mitoma's cross is cut out.

    Brighton only have themselves to blame here. Simply trying to be too clever with the ball. West Ham, on the other hand, brutally clinical.

    Dave

    West Ham...forever bursting bubbles.

    Richard

    Just imagine when Mohammed Kudus joins this West ham attack. It will be explosive alongside Bowen.

    Sums up Brighton's day. A long spell of possession, in which they fail to get into the box a few times, ends with Joao Pedro overhitting a cross.

    What is this obsession with percentage of possession. The only statistics in football that have any meaning is goals scored and goals conceded. You can play pretty passing football of 1 or 2 yards in the middle of midfield all day long, it gets you nowhere.

    Daniel

    Those bigging up a team after only two games are starting to look stupid. If Utd were losing 3-nil at home to West Ham, the comments would be much harsher.

    I can't praise West Ham highly enough for their defensive display this afternoon.

    The way that they have been drilled, the lines moving side to side, getting blocks in, first contacts, winning individual battles.

    It has been an A class performance from them today.
