Eddie Howe has praised Brighton & Hove Albion following the 0-0 stalemate at the Amex Stadium.
The Newcastle United boss could only watch on as his side grabbed a draw and failed to find a way through Graham Potter's well organised defence. But the result means Newcastle are unbeaten after two games and are yet to concede a goal.
Howe said: "Brighton played very well. "We rode our luck at times but we also showed a lot of spirit and unity. We were under the cosh but we stayed calm and we battled through it."
Brighton boss Graham Potter was also full of praise for his side after the clash on the South Coast Potter said: "Taking everything into consideration, on a hot day, difficult playing conditions, our boys were fantastic. We just missed that last little bit, that last little finish, little piece of quality, and their keeper has made some good saves."
