In-form Brighton saw their six-game winning run come to an end after being held to a 0-0 draw at Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League.

The Premier League's top scorers, who netted 23 goals across their first seven matches, misfired badly in the foothills of the Jizera Mountains in northern Czech Republic. Despite having 26 efforts at goal, they failed to score for the first time in 10 games.

Around 1,000 Seagulls fans made the trip from the Sussex coast to the homely Stadion Strelnice in Jablonec nad Nisou. These are heady days for their team, who lie third in the English top flight, fresh from Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing of M23 rivals Crystal Palace.

Boss Fabian Hurzeler, in his 100th match in charge, made eight changes from that memorable win, with only Bart Verbruggen, Olivier Boscagli, and the omnipresent Pascal Gross retaining their places.

Despite enjoying 73 percent possession, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut openings, with their hosts finishing the stronger. Antonin Rusek nearly capitalized on a mistake by Joao Costinha, while Verbruggen made a spectacular fingertip save to prevent Jiri Slama's drive from hitting the top corner.

This match marks a significant moment for Brighton as they look to regroup and find their scoring form in upcoming fixtures.
