Countless chances including a missed Neal Maupay penalty were wasted by the hosts, with the side now having only scored once in their last seven appearances and not seen a goal at The Amex since mid-January.
On the other hand, Norwich stopped the rot of their six game losing streak by hanging onto a point at the AMEX.
Dean Smith’s side kept out Brighton, some part of their own and some by Brighton’s complete wastefulness in a tough backs to the wall performance.
Here are the player ratings - Brighton by Sonny Turner, Norwich City by Sonny Turner.

Brighton v Norwich City player ratings
. Robert Sanchez- 8
A long awaited clean sheet for the Brighton goalkeeper which he didn’t have to work hard for at all. Norwich failed to test him all game, with the keeper commanding his box well.
. Tariq Lamptey- 5
A mixed game from the young full back, caught out of position on a couple of occasions, but looked a threat down the right. Saw a lot of the ball but showed a lack of quality end product.
. Marc Cucurella- 7
A good performance keeping a clean sheet and showing attacking threat. Bombed down the left and fizzed in a few dangerous looking crosses, but like Lamptey didn’t show dangerous enough end product.
. Lewis Dunk- 8
Didn’t put a foot wrong defensively in steering Brighton to a clean sheet, although the Seagulls’ captain had little to do. Showed good composure and played out from the back well.
. Neal Maupay- 2
A day to forget for the striker, wasting an abundance of chances, including a penalty which he blasted well over the target. Other golden opportunities from just yards out were also put off target, in a game in which the striker could’ve easily scored a hat-trick. A nice touch from the home support who sung their man’s name when he was brought off.
. Alexis Mac Allister- 7
Played positively throughout and narrowly missed a couple of long range efforts. A testing strike almost won it at the end, but Tim Krul parried away.
. Leandro Trossard- 7
His best moment, a slick turn, followed by quick feet, created a chance inside the area which was blocked and followed by three Brighton corners from which they should have scored.
. Enock Mwepu- 6
Came on late in the game, and had little effect in trying to push Brighton to a winner.
. Pascal Gross- 6
A decent game saw some nice switches of play, and a couple of chances created, but the necessary precision to create a goal was lacking.
. Jakub Moder- N/A
Went off injured having only come on as a substitute with 10 minutes to play.
