Albion ground out an impressive point at high-flying Burnley as both goalkeepers shone.
Tomasz Kuszczak ensured the Seagulls returned home with the 0-0 draw they deserved by making two terrific second-half stops.
He parried Sam Vokes’ close-range header and then turned a miscued Leo Ulloa clearance against the post.
But Tom Heaton also had his moments and he stood big and strong to deny sub Andrea Orlandi a late winner.
Both teams had one major let-off in the first half. Michael Kightly shot low against the near post after working a short corner routine with Danny Ings.
And Kazenga LuaLua burst through after latching on to a weak clearance, only to shoot straight at Heaton.
But Albion will be delighted with their point and their defensive display.
