Brighton stopped the rot as they drew 0-0 at Wolves to add a crucial point in their relegation battle.

Diogo Jota twice hit the woodwork and Leander Dendoncker was denied by Mathew Ryan but the hosts dropped to ninth after an instantly forgettable stalemate.

Seagulls boss Chris Hughton said, “When we asked the players for a response, we certainly got that in what they were prepared to give and how hard they were prepared to work.

“It's very difficult coming here — they've got so many good footballers and you know that if you open up too much, they can hurt you.

“We probably could have been a little bit better in our link-up play, in the times that we broke, but we knew it would be difficult and about making sure we got back to a clean sheet."

Davy Propper came off with an injury in the opening half at Molineux, and Hughton provided an update on the Dutchman's condition.

“He felt his hamstring — we'll see how bad it is, but at this moment, I must admit, I'm not too sure."
