Brighton & Hove Albion were held to a 1-1 draw at home by West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday after Jarrod Bowen’s stunning second-half goal for the visitor was canceled out by Georginio Rutter’s injury-time equalizer.
After a goalless opening half, played in driving rain and swirling winds, West Ham scored in the 73rd minute from a counter-attack after pouncing on a Brighton error, with Bowen stretching on the slide to direct an effort inside the far post.

The result leaves West Ham in 18th place in the relegation zone with 13 points, two behind Nottingham Forest, while Brighton moved up to seventh with 23 points.
