Graham Potter has paid tribute to Eddie Howe for doing an 'amazing job' at Newcastle United after his Brighton side were unable to find a way past the 'very strong' Magpies.
Brighton had a host of chances to win Saturday's game at the Amex, but the Seagulls were repeatedly thwarted by the visitors during a goalless draw. Nick Pope produced two stunning saves to deny Adam Lallana and Solly March while Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar both made goalline clearances to keep Newcastle in the game.
Brighton ultimately had seven times as many shots on target than Newcastle, but the hosts just could not find the breakthrough and Pascal Gross fired wide late on when he should have scored from close range. It was hardly a surprise, then, that Eddie Howe was 'very pleased' after his side escaped with a point.
