Premier League: Brighton 0 Sunderland 0Sunderland’s impressive season following promotion to the Premier League continued with a battling goalless draw at Brighton. Yasin Ayari wasted the best of Brighton’s opportunities as their winless run stretched to four matches, prompting a smattering of boos at full-time. Regis Le Bris’ side made the long trip south seeking to build on last weekend’s 1-0 Wear-Tyne derby victory over Newcastle. Black Cats goalkeeper Robin Roefs reacted well to deny Mats Wieffer’s header in the third minute of a drab opening period. Brighton: Verbruggen, Wieffer, Coppola, Boscagli, De Cuyper, Ayari, Hinshelwood, Minteh, Gruda, Kadioglu, Rutter.
