Chris Hughton believes Albion’s 0-0 draw with ten-man Watford was a case of two points dropped for his team.

The Seagulls twice hit the post against a home side who had left-back Miguel Britos dismissed in the first half.

Watford remain unbeaten while Albion are still seeking their first win and goal back in the top flight.

Hughton said: “At this moment I’d go more towards two dropped.

“Even against 11, I thought we started the game really well.

“Before the sending-off and with how Watford have started, a point here is a good point.

“But I think, with the balance of play and the manner of the game, I’m disappointed we didn’t come away with all three.”
