Brighton 0-0 Ipswich Town: It finished goalless despite chances for both teams
Brighton & Hove Albion kept up their unbeaten start to the season but dropped their first home points as a plucky Ipswich Town held out for a fortunate goalless draw in the Premier League.
Brighton stayed in third place with eight points from four matches but will consider this an opportunity missed as they dominated proceedings but failed to find the net.
Goalkeeper Arijanet Muric proved key for newly promoted Ipswich as they won their second point of the season to add to the first that they picked up in their last league game at home to Fulham before the international break.
Muric made a series of saves as desperate defending kept their hosts at bay.
