Albion have been told they came up against one of the best goalkeepers in the country tonight.

The Seagulls drew 1-1 with Cardiff City, for whom David Marshall made a string of fine saves.

Marshall was particularly impressive in the second half as he...

  • 52: Kept out Joe Bennett’s diving header from close range.
  • 53: Got down to his right to push away Lewis Dunk’s header.
  • 59: Saved a Gary Gardner shot.
  • 67: Stuck out a hand diving low to his left to turn aside Bennett’s right-footed prod goalwards.
  • 72: Dived low to his right to save another Gardner drive, this time deflected.

Cardiff’s caretaker boss Scott Young said: “We weren’t surprised.

“For me he is undoubtedly the best at this level and probably among the top five or six at the next level.”
