Albion picked up a valuable 0-0 draw away to the leaders – helped by a fine late save by David Stockdale.
The Seagulls were compact, tidy and well organised away to a Hull City side boasting the best home record in the Championship.
And they took the point they deserved as Stockdale, who had had a quiet evening against his old club, tipped Sam Clucas’s drive on to the post.
Hull struggled to threaten Chris Hughton’s side, in which Steve Sidwell started in a five-man midfield.
There was one chance apiece for the two sides. Jamie Murphy forced the only save with a fierce drive which Allan McGregor pushed behind after a neatly constructed counter attack involving Tomer Hemed and Sidwell.
Tom Huddlestone shot narrowly wide at the other end from just outside the box.
