Danny Welbeck was criticised online after missing a Panenka penalty that hit the crossbar in Brighton’s 2-2 draw at West Ham. He scored Brighton’s first penalty, then failed to convert a second moments later, swinging momentum. West Ham led through Jarrod Bowen before Welbeck equalised from the spot. Welbeck’s missed Panenka was punished when Lucas Paqueta scored a penalty before halftime, but Joel Veltman’s second-half goal rescued a point for Brighton.
