David Stockdale ended a long Albion wait today - by saving a penalty.
The Seagulls keeper got down sharply to his left to keep out a spot kick by Paul Caddis of Birmingham.
It was the first penalty save by an Albion keeper since Peter Brezovan thwarted Luis Suarez in front of the Kop in an FA Cup tie three years ago.

A Seagulls keeper had not saved a league penalty since Brezovan thwarted Pawel Abbott in a 2-0 win at Oldham in March 2010.
The Slovak also saved a penalty on his debut at Exeter earlier in the 2010-11 campaign.
