West Ham defender Ogbonna explains Brighton stalemate

West Ham United ran out of steam in the Premier League against Brighton.

The two sides, who are battling for a European place in the table, played out a 0-0 draw on Tuesday.

While Brighton did create several chances in the game, West Ham were happy to hang on for a point.

Captain on the night, Angelo Ogbonna, defended his team's display and pointed to fatigue.

He stated post-game: "We were a bit tired, we couldn't push.

“In December and over Christmas we've had a lot of games and a lot of injuries. We couldn't even rotate so for us it was important to at least get a point."
