Graham Potter has slammed the defensive breakdown which cost Albion a win at West Ham.

The head coach was bitterly disappointed by their work at a corner from which Tomas Soucek scored at the London Stadium.

The Czech’s close-range header meant the Seagulls had to settle for a 2-2 draw having led twice.

Ben White appeared to be the man charged with marking Soucek as he ran in.

Potter said: “I thought the performance was maybe worthy of three (points). It was quite a good away performance.

“But we didn’t defend the second goal particularly well.

“When you do that it becomes difficult.

“It was too easy. We have to improve that.

“Soucek is the main threat and the obvious threat and he gets a clear run through us.”
