At the London Stadium, West Ham hosted Brighton and got the same result as Manchester United 14 days ago – a defeat. The Seagulls continued their excellent start of the season with a comfortable 2-0 win in London and sent the Hammers to the bottom of the Premier League. And PSG defender Thilo Kehrer had the worst possible debut for his new team, as the young German conceded a penalty in the 22nd minute which eventually turned the game away.Brighton’s Premier League record vs. West Ham:◎ 11 games◎ 6 draws◎ 5 wins ◉ 0 defeats Still unbeaten. 💪 pic.twitter.com/tYDGhkb0Qg— Squawka (@Squawka) August 21, 2022 The Hammers are obviously lacking in confidence, something you wouldn’t necessarily expect from an experienced squad which managed to secure European football this season. West Ham opened the game much better and were dominant in the first 20 minutes, creating changes and making Brighton look slow and ‘killing’ them with the pace, but just they were about to capitalize, a disaster struck.Danny Welbeck was fouled by West Ham’s debutant defender Thilo Kehrer. The German claimed the foul had taken place outside the penalty area, but a VAR check decided it was just inside and Mac Allister calmly converted the spot-kick for 1-0. And after that, West Ham’s confidence was crushed and they never recovered.The Seagulls took the game into their own hands and secured another three points after Leandro Trossard raced through to bag Brighton’s second goal with a composed finish past Lukasz Fabianski in the 66th minute.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 3SaturdayTottenham – Wolverhampton 1-0 (0-0)/Kane 64/Crystal Palace – Aston Villa 3-1 (1-1)/Zaha 7, 58, Mateta 71 – Watkins 5/Everton – Nott.Forest 1-1 (0-0)/Gray 88 – Johnson 81/Fulham – Brentford 3-2 (2-1)/Reid 1, Palhinha 20, Mitrovic 90 – Norgaard 44, Toney 71/Leicester – Southampton 1-2 (0-0)/Maddison 54 – Adams 68, 84/Bournemouth – Arsenal 0-3 (0-2)/Odegaard 5, 11, Saliba 54/Sunday Leeds – Chelsea 3-0 (2-0)/Aaronson 33, Rodrigo 37, Harrison 69/West Ham – Brighton 0-2 (0-1)/Mac Allister 20 pen, Trossard 66/18.30: (8.50) Newcastle (4.50) Man.City (1.40)Monday 22.00: (5.70) Man.Utd.
