But the Czech midfielder powered his header home perfectluy at the other end as the game ended all square.
West Ham were weoful in the first half, and the only surprise was that Brighton only had a 1-0 lead thanks to Neal Maupay.
But whatever Daviod Moyes said at the break helped, and they were level when youngster Ben Johnson coolly slotted home an equaliser.
But back came a resilient Brighton, and Lewis Dunk smashed home after Soucek’s header hit his midriff.

But with just seven minutes remaining the hosts snatched a point when Soucek made amends by escaping Ben White and powering a header home.
