- 9:50A close-range header tests Peretz; the final outcome follows at 10:30.
James Bree volleys into the top corner. Kyle Walker-Peters answers with a fierce finish of his own. But after the long-range shooting, Southampton need something much closer to goal: Daniel Peretz reacting to a late header to keep West Ham out.
EFL's extended highlights package follows Southampton's 3-2 victory at a rainy London Stadium, and it reached about 67,000 views in seven hours. That is already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos.
Kuryu Matsuki opens the scoring inside two minutes, set up by Leo Scienza, before Bree doubles Southampton's lead. Walker-Peters pulls West Ham back into it, only for Lewis Dobbin to restore the visitors' cushion from close range.
The goalkeeper then becomes increasingly important. Peretz stops Konstantinos Mavropanos's powerful effort and tips Max Kilman's long-range shot onto the crossbar. Tomas Soucek's curling finish leaves West Ham chasing an equalizer late on, but Peretz's reflex save denies them.
The upload is a sponsored highlights program, rather than a full-match replay. Its comments give the goalkeeper plenty of space: viewers discuss Peretz's performance, with one comparing him to Fraser Forster at his peak. Others have a practical request for EFL's editing team: an on-screen clock to help them follow the match.
