Brighton moved above Manchester United and into seventh in the Premier League after being held to a goalless draw at home by Wolves.
Roberto De Zerbi's side played out their second consecutive 0-0 having taken a point earlier this month at West Ham, who sit one place above them.
Brighton's best chance came early in the first half when Facundo Buonanotte's header was cleared off the goalline and in the second period, Wolves' Max Kilman turned the ball onto his own post.
But despite dominating possession throughout, the hosts could not find a way through and Wolves improved in the final third after the break, seeing Matheus Cunha sky a decent chance from close range before Mario Lemina forced a late save from Jason Steele.
Brighton's James Milner made his 633rd Premier League appearance to move second in the all-time rankings. He is now just 20 games short of record-holder Gareth Barry on 653.
