At the Amex Stadium on Friday, Brentford battled to a tense goalless draw with Brighton & Hove Albion to cap off 2024. Amid a barrage of first-half opportunities at both ends, Yoane Wissa's goal in the 14th minute was disallowed for offside after a VAR review, giving the Bees their closest chance to win.
But in a quiet second half, neither team's attackers were at their best. Brentford had to work hard to withstand extended Brighton pressure and secure a crucial point draw at home. Brighton is now winless in six Premier League games, despite earning only their second away point of the season—and their first since November—under Thomas Frank's leadership. Fabian Hurzeler's poor attack will leave him searching for solutions, while Frank will be thrilled to return to the capital with a rare point away from home.
