Yahoo Finance West Ham see Champions League hopes hit by Brighton draw
West Ham’s Champions League hopes were dealt a major blow despite a fine late equaliser from Said Benrahma against Brighton.
The game burst into life in the final 10 minutes, with Danny Welbeck scoring a breakaway goal for Brighton in the 84th minute, which was cancelled out three minutes later by Benrahma’s curling shot.
The point from the 1-1 draw means the Hammers are five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with only two matches to play.
