We asked for your views on the 2-2 draw between Brighton and Leicester in the Premier League.

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans

Stuart: One of the worst performances I've seen at the Amex. Dunk was really poor, and I love Hinshelwood, but he's not a right-back - he is constantly out of position. Too many passes on the edge of the box, please just shoot. Leicester deserved the point.

Jas: As awful as it was predictable. There weren't many Brighton fans turning up expecting us to win. The squad is ravaged by injuries, Dunk very sadly no longer good enough for this level and a head coach that's just been given a role too big for him. Any talk of Europe has to stop as we should just hope we can finish in the top half. It's been a really underwhelming season. Need it to be over quickly!

Anton: See it so many times, great play and clever moves until it gets to the last strike, then it all goes wrong. We have missed a ton of goals season after season which should have been converted. Watching us move the ball with clever calculated passes, great intelligent game play and sometimes an almost second sight, just to be let down in front of goal.

Leicester fans

Brad: Who is this Leicester side?! Couldn't score if our lives depended on it! And yet on Saturday they played like a team that had something to fight for! Let's hope we can now end this season on a bit of a high.

Mick: Mavididi our best player - why hasn't the manager used him this season? There's a half decent team in there somewhere but Van Nistelrooy hasn't got a clue what his best team is, nor can he inspire them to fight for the club whose shirt they are wearing.

Dave: A much better performance from the lads and on another day with a different referee we may have won the game. Coady penalty was harsh, Mavididi not given a penalty when his opponent had his hands around the neck/throat and his face. Encouraging signs, but we had them against West Ham too just after Ruud arrived.

Former Leicester coach Mike Stowell highlighted winger Stephy Mavididi as one of Leicester's standout performers in Saturday's draw with Brighton.

Speaking to the When You're Smiling Podcast, Stowell said: "He was a joy to watch. As supporters, it's not all about hard tackling, strong challenges and running hard. You want to see exciting flair players and he was that player today.

"Where has that been? Has he been under the weather, has he had a fall out with the manager? We're guessing here, but based on that performance, you pick him every week.

"Performances like that give you hope for next season. When some of the players like Casey McAteer and Mavididi put in performances like that, you think about building on that with those players for next season. Some of these players will be fighting for contracts and fighting for their place next season."

Speaking before the trip to Brighton, Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy promised his side will keep fighting despite relegation from the Premier League looming large over them.

"There's always a fight left, there's always a future, whatever the scenario," the Dutchman said.

And fight they did in a spirited 2-2 draw against Brighton as Stephy Mavididi and Caleb Okoli scored to help them came back from behind twice and earn their first point in nine league matches.

The Seagulls were pushing for a place in Europe and it was no surprise it was the home side that started the game on the front foot, with Joao Pedro pulling them ahead from the penalty spot.

But Leicester fought back as Mavididi ended their run of 885 minutes without a goal in the top flight to make it 1-1 before they conceded a penalty again soon after the restart.

But the Foxes displayed grit and determination, which they have lacked for most of the season, to rescue a point as Okoli headed home from a Bilal El Khannouss free-kick in the 74th minute.

The Foxes' fighting display at Brighton is one that would have pleased Van Nistelrooy.

But it could prove too little and too late for his side as an instant return to the Championship could be confirmed as early as next Sunday when they face leaders Liverpool and 17th-placed Wolves take on Manchester United.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Leicester's draw against Brighton: "We could've nicked it. Verbruggen saved Bilal El Khannouss's shot just slightly on to the post. We had some opportunities to score the third and the second half was better of the two, Brighton were better in the first half.

"The season couldn't end like this with a lack of goals or with this run of form and we broke that cycle today.

"We want to finish the season in a positive way to ensure we start the next season as good as we can."

Stephy Mavididi netted Leicester City's first Premier League goal since Bilal El Khannouss' winner against Tottenham Hotspur in January, having conceded 22 goals since last scoring. Indeed, it's the second-longest run in the same Premier League campaign after Ipswich Town in April 1995 (27 conceded).
