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.

Brighton are starting to edge into control now but Baleba's drive is the closest they have come to a breakthrough. The Seagulls have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W5 D7), going down 1-0 against Fulham in February 2023 and they will be hoping to turn this pressure into a goal.

CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON! What a start here on the South Coast....Carlos Baleba reacts quickest to a bouncing ball on the edge of the box but his low drive is clawed away by Arijanet Muric.

CHANCE! Ipswich are immediately on the front foot as Wes Burns whips in a cross from the right-hand side of the box but Leif Davis arrives just too late to stab home at the back post!

Two starting swaps for the visitors also as Kieran McKenna drops Chiedozie Ogbene to the bench and Luke Woolfeenden is absent all together. Dara O'Shea starts in defence with Wes Burns in for Ogbene.

Two changes from the home side for this game as James Milner and Joao Pedro miss out through injury. Yasin Ayari and Georginio Rutter step in for their first starts for the club after the latter joinied from Leeds United over the summer. Pedro's absence is a blow for the Seagulls after he scored in successive games before the break.
