The summer signing made TEN saves in total as the home side looked to come from behind to win on home turf.

But Trafford had other ideas as Vincent Kompany’s men finally ended their four-game losing streak away from home.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

Made a string of heroic stops to earn Burnley a draw. Almost a one-man mission in the second-half to keep Brighton at bay.

Straight back into the side after serving his ban. Dealt with the dangerous Evan Ferguson pretty well, keeping him quiet in the main.
