Brighton 0-0 Ipswich: Muric magic keeps Seagulls at bay
- Published
It wasn't pretty but after earning a hard-fought point at Brighton, Ipswich won't care.
That they came away with anything from the Amex was in large part down to a phenomenal double save from goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
The 25-year-old endured a tough time in Ipswich goal in the Tractor Boys' last Premier League away game at Manchester City.
Muric was then sent home early from the Kosovo national team for an alleged breach of team rules but he responded superbly at Brighton.
Having got down to make a smart save - albeit one he might expect to make - to keep out Georginio Rutter, he was up in a flash to throw himself to his right deny Kaoru Mitoma what seemed a certain goal.
As good as the save was, the timing of it was perhaps even more important, coming just as Brighton had cranked up the pressure approaching half-time.
Had the home side got one, the added momentum could well have seen them take the game away from Ipswich.
Instead, Kieran McKenna's side held firm and prevented Brighton creating any other chances of significance.
