Since his Premier League debut in February 2020, only Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin (eight) and Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke (seven) have scored more headed goals in the competition than Tomas Soucek (six)Neal Maupay's acrobatic overhead kick earned Brighton a dramatic draw against West Ham at London Stadium.
The Frenchman scored in the 89th minute when the Seagulls were down to 10 men after Adam Lallana had gone off injured, with the visitors unable to make any more substitutions.
West Ham had scored after only five minutes when Pablo Fornals' superb inswinging corner was glanced in by Tomas Soucek's near-post header.
Fornals nearly doubled their advantage but his well-struck 15-yard effort hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced clear.
The Hammers thought they had a second goal when the ball crept over the line off the heel of Brighton defender Shane Duffy in a goalmouth scramble.
However, it was ruled out following a lengthy Video Assistant Referee delay as Michail Antonio was adjudged offside before the ball hit the away defender.
Despite having further chances to score a second, the Hammers could not finish the game off and were punished late on.
