Brighton's winless run stretched to six Premier League games as a resolute Brentford side held them to a goalless draw to gain only their second away point of the season.

The hosts nearly took a fifth-minute lead when Joao Pedro, with his back to goal, laid the ball off for Julio Enciso, but his first-time curling effort bounced off the right upright.

That proved to be as close as either side would come on a cold and misty evening at the Amex Stadium.

Brentford, with the worst away record in the league, thought they had taken the lead in the 14th minute against the run of play.

Yoane Wissa raced through the middle of the home defence and finished well, only for the video assistant referee (VAR) to rule he was narrowly offside when he collected possession.

Brighton midfielder Solly March received a standing ovation from the home fans near the end of the match when he came on as a substitute.

He had missed 14 months of action with a serious knee injury sustained late on during Brighton's 2-1 away loss to Manchester City in October 2023.

But he was unable to be the match winner, shooting over from the edge of the penalty area in the 94th minute, as it ended in a draw.
