West Ham United drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
But West Ham produced a drab performance in the first half, and Mats Wieffer’s 51st-minute goal put them on the back foot.
However, Mohammed Kudus salvaged a point, heading in the rebound after Bart Verbruggen parried Jarrod Bowen’s shot.
Lukasz Fabianski pulled off a stunning save to deny substitute Yasin Ayari, as the Irons held on to secure a draw.
Konstantinos Mavropanos was tipped to be dropped after his poor outing against Bournemouth, but he started in the heart of defence alongside Max Kilman.
He once again produced a poor display. The centre-back lasted until half-time, as Lopetegui replaced him with Jean-Clair Todibo.
Mavropanos had 53 touches and completed 37 of his 43 passes (86% accuracy). He won 67% of his duels and registered three tackles and a clearance.
His overall performance was unconvincing, and West Ham should drop him from the first-team against Southampton on Thursday.
