Chris Hughton pleased with defensive resilience in Sheffield Wednesday draw

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton admits that he was pleased with the resilience that his side showed in their goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday.

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton has expressed his delight with the defensive resilience that his side displayed in their goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

The Seagulls kept their second clean sheet on the spin to earn a vital point in their battle against relegation from the Championship.

Hughton even feels that his team could have earned more from the match had a penalty decision gone their way.

He told Sky Sports News: "We always knew it would be tough. It's a very difficult pitch to play how you'd like to play but that's two clean sheets on the road and I think that, as the away team, yes you've got to be pleased with that.

"We're a side who like to move the ball about and probably a reflection of the pitch is I thought that particularly when the game opened up, we counter-attacked very well but it was always going to be difficult to get that final pass in when we needed to.

"The one time when we were through was when Sam Baldock went through. I haven't seen it again but speaking to the lad, who's a very honest lad, he thinks it was a nailed-on penalty."

Brighton are 21st in the Championship table, one point clear of the relegation zone.
