Ipswich valiantly held high-flying Brighton to a goalless draw at the Amex Stadium - and were inches away from their first Premier League win as Liam Delap struck the post in the second half.
Kieran McKenna's side were dominated by the hosts for all of the first half and were reliant on goalkeeper Aro Muric for producing a superb double save to deny Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma in the penalty area.
The second half was much more even. While Brighton went close through a couple of Rutter efforts and Danny Welbeck's free-kick flying just wide, Ipswich proved to be a more potent threat on the counter attack.
The best chance of the game fell to Delap who went on a solo run down the right hand side and crashed a shot off the far post from what looked like an unlikely angle.
"It was an incredible run," said Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna. "When you put it with his goal last week, he's probably a Barclaysman if he does those two goals at the age of 21 in his first two games."
Omari Hutchinson also tested Bart Verbruggen via a solo run and finish, as McKenna's Ipswich threatened to walk away with a first Premier League win for 22 years.
Brighton regained control of the game towards the dying stages and Evan Ferguson - without a Premier League goal in 10 months - nearly stole the show but curled just wide of the far post. It was the last big chance out of the hosts' 21 efforts on goal.
