But the Amex crowd were not impressed with the result as booing could be heard from the stands after the full-time whistle. 

Potter was confused at the booing and could be seen looking into the crowd and shaking his head in disbelief. 

Following the game, the Brighton boss told Sky Sports: ‘It’s frustrating but that happens in football.

‘We created chances today and if we maintain that level of performance we’ll score goals.

‘The fans are entitled to their opinions but I disagree with them. You have to understand the game, who we played and what we did. 

‘We are sitting eighth in the Premier League but maybe I need a history lesson on this club.’

Potter’s high-flying Seagulls got off to a firing start to the season as their first five games produced four wins but Brighton have suffered a poor run as their last eight games have left them without a win. 

The stalemate was the sixth draw during Albion’s run without victory but was sufficient to move them up a place to eighth, just one point behind Tottenham.
