This Pascal Gross goal vs West Ham is perhaps a contender for worst defending of the league season from the Hammers defensive pairing of Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna. Both dither over the ball, thinking the other would take care of it, and Pascal Gross pounces to make it 3-2 for Brighton. “Gross” defending from West Ham, if one had to say!
