No one said it was going to be easy, not least David Moyes. But after the substitute Saïd Benrahma’s late equaliser earned his side a point with his first-ever Premier League goal, West Ham’s manager will still be clinging to the hope that they can seal a miraculous top-four finish against all the odds.
When Danny Welbeck opened the scoring for Brighton with just six minutes left to play, it appeared that despite all their efforts West Ham would come away with nothing. Yet Benrahma’s cool finish when the ball fell to him outside the area 195 seconds later at least gives them a fighting chance of ending their excellent season with something to show for it.
