Brighton missed a penalty, had a header cleared off the line and hit the woodwork at the Amex Stadium as Chris Hughton left feeling this was a case of the same old story.
The Seagulls have now scored only once in their last six games, with Glenn Murray the culprit who fired his spot-kick over the crossbar in the first half.
Scoring is becoming a serious issue for Brighton and it is one which will likely be addressed in January as they find themselves slipping towards the bottom of the table.
A bad patch was always going to come at some point for the Premier League newbies but it is one Hughton wants to get out of as soon as possible.
