Norwich earned their second point of the season, but failed to take advantage of a host of chances to punish a below-par Brighton at Carrow Road.

Still searching for their first Premier League win of the season, the Canaries could not find a knockout punch despite their energy and industry ruffling the visitors.

Striker Josh Sargent squandered Norwich's best two chances and as the openings ebbed away so did his confidence.

Brighton move up the table to fourth, climbing above Manchester United - who lost to Leicester - and Everton, who play West Ham on Sunday. But they were well short of the form that has carried them into the upper reaches of the table before the international break.

Afterwards, Brighton manager Graham Potter said: "It was a hard-fought game. We weren't at our best, but not too bad either and in the end, after both teams had chances, we accept the point.

"We couldn't find the final bit to score the goal, but Daniel Farke probably thinks the same thing. We have to play Manchester City at the weekend and we go match to match and don't worry about what the table might look like in May. It is about trying to improve and be better and keep picking the points up."

On Tariq Lamptey's return, he added: "It is great for him and us. It is great to have him on the pitch."
