Leandro Trossard delighted to score for Brighton draw

Leandro Trossard was delighted to score for Brighton in their 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Trossard, signed from Genk for an undisclosed fee in June, thought he had opened the scoring midway through the first half only for his effort to be ruled out for offside on a VAR review.

But Trossard was not to be denied a debut goal, and he fired past Lukasz Fabianski from the edge of the box shortly after Javier Hernandez had put the Hammers into a 61st-minute lead.

He said, "The goal which was ruled out, it was a nice strike. It's an odd situation - you cheer, the adrenaline comes up and it's bad luck that I couldn't have the first but it was good that I could come back and score on my debut in the second half instead. It is my first goal, it has helped us to get equal."
