The Seagulls failed to take advantage of their nearest rivals West Ham, Newcastle and Wolves all dropping points a day earlier after a drab encounter in west London.
바카라We have to make a difference between the performance and the result. I바카라m really pleased for the performance but we are disappointed for the result,바카라 said Seagulls boss De Zerbi.
바카라We shot 24 times, we had six shots on target but we didn바카라t score and we are disappointed because in our head we lost two points.바카라
The main talking point came in first-half stoppage time when referee Andrew Madley was sent to take a look at the pitchside monitor by the VAR for a potential penalty for a foul by Yoane Wissa on Lewis Dunk.
That turn of events almost always ends with a spot-kick being awarded but, in something of a collector바카라s item, the on-field official stuck to his guns and ruled in favour of the Bees forward, much to Brighton skipper Dunk바카라s frustration.
바카라Fantastic decision,바카라 smiled Bees boss Thomas Frank.
De Zerbi added: 바카라I think the referee was correct, maybe the decision was correct. My assistant told me that at the beginning it was Dunk who made the foul.
바카라I바카라ve never seen the referee watch the screen and change the decision of the VAR. I learnt something new today.바카라
Ivan Toney saw his goal drought stretch to seven matches for Brentford.
The England striker turned inside Jan Paul van Hecke 12 yards out in the first half but lost his footing slightly and Bart Verbruggen saved his scuffed shot.
After the break Toney took aim from 25 yards with a free-kick but it sailed over the crossbar.
Substitute Danny Welbeck had two chances to win it for Brighton in stoppage time but he headed a corner wide and then fizzed a low drive the wrong side of the far post.
It was the first time since November that the Bees had picked up points in back-to-back games, following Saturday바카라s 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
바카라An unbeaten run, finally!바카라 said Frank.
바카라Yeah, I think it was a good point, a well deserved point, a point that we have missed a lot of times this season.
바카라If you can바카라t win, don바카라t lose, and we got a clean sheet on top of it. That바카라s going in the right direction so I바카라m really pleased with that.바카라
