THIS is the moment David Stockdale produced another stunning save to continue Albion’s proud away record against the top teams in the Championship.
The keeper dived to tip a shot from Sam Clucas on to the crossbar in the closing stages of last night’s 0-0 draw at leaders Hull.
Stockdale staged a repeat of his heroics against Bolton Wanderers at the Amex on Saturday.
Manager Chris Hughton said: “That’s what he has done ever so well for us. His concentration levels have been ever so good.
“In a tight game, when the chances are minimal, that can be the difference. Thankfully for us it was a good save.”
Hull City boss Steve Bruce, who had Stockdale on loan twice earlier in his career, quipped: “That was a great save. I knew we should have signed him!”
Albion have now held all four teams they have faced away from home in the top six to draws, after also collecting a point from trips to Burnley, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby.
Hughton, who was again without James Wilson through injury, said: “It’s a good draw and a fair result on the balance of play. I think we deserved it.”
The latest stalemate was enough to edge Albion above Burnley into third, a point behind Middlesbrough and still only three points adrift of Hull.
