A razor sharp Brighton delivered at London Stadium



Tonight match put a possible ultimatum to West Ham Boss Slaven Bilic tenure in the Hammers organization, after he and his crew succumbed to a resilient and determined Brighton, Hove and Albion.

The thrill of netting your first win away was the reward the Seagulls got today in the colossus of Stratford, London to a near sold out match.

As the visiting Gulls showed off a lot of dominance and organization in their game that delivered a notorious and important win in their campaign of promotion.

Today’s win catapults the Gulls to tenth place and eleven points making manager Chris Houghton a bit happy that his blueprint plan to succeed in Premiership is taking off in a positive note.

In the opposite side of the coin, we have a trouble Bilic making anything to make his initial eleven works out a sort of miracle or something to end the negative skid that at the end is putting him on hot water.

Despite the spending frenzy that the Academy of Football directives did before the season started, the arrival of important players to reinforce the work of the Serbian in London Stadium is just going in shambles every time the Hammers play.

Alongside of seeing how the Irons downfall is putting them near the spot of relegation within two points of Leicester City occupying the last spot and a win can get them out of the abyss.

Still the afternoon belonged to an inspired and possessed Brighton’s Glenn Murray double that led the scoring frenzy for his squad and a win considered after all important in the newly promoted Seagulls confidence ahead of league play.

As the Gulls started taking the initiative of the match and despite the Irons arrivals in the posts of Mat Ryan that alongside his backfield at times outplayed by the locals, call it luck or sheer resolve of not seeing the clean sheet fall.

With Murray outstanding performance in the 10 minute taking care or a kick sent by Pascal GroB, he was in a nice position and his push, opened in a play considered in the right time and place.

After the game had a nice back-to-back exchange from both squads, still the perseverance the Seagulls exhibited throughout the match was a plus for their overall achievement in the conclusion of this match.

Before the half ended, the visitors went up the scoreboard on injury time thanks to a nice shoot by Colombian Jose Izquierdo courtesy of assistance by Davy Propper to make the score to 2-0 and sending the Hammers to break with many questions.

The second half saw once again a diligent Albion 11 looking forward to extend tier lead until the 75 minute when Pablo Zabaleta flagrant foul over Murray inside that earned the visitors a penalty that Glen Murray converted for the 3-0 lead.

What match and upset delivered by a gritty Brighton squad that after a slow start in this nascent campaign, they are leveling it with pure ambition to win and seal their ticket to see another day in the ranks of Premiership.

In the case West Ham United side, today performance was an all-around embarrassment for their initial eleven plagued with many notable players in Arnatovic, Hernandez, Zabaleta and especially Hart not delivering.
