Ivan Toney goal drought in the Premier League extended to seven games as Brentford and Brighton played to a goalless draw. Despite dominating possession, Brighton failed to create many clear chances. Brentford had better opportunities with Toney missing a good chance and VAR overturning a potential penalty for Brighton.

Both teams struggled to break the deadlock in the second half, leaving Brentford winless in five home games and Brighton missing the chance to climb into a European qualification spot. Toney lack of goals has been a concern for Brentford,while Brighton attacking threat remains limited even with the return of Joao Pedro from injury.

Despite the draw, it’s a slight improvement for Brighton as they avoid a fifth consecutive away defeat for the first time since 2006
