There was to be no third consecutive Premier League victory for hosts Hull City - although they did register a third straight clean sheet - while Aston Villa stopped the rot after two defeats.
Aston Villa have recorded just one shot on target in their opening three games of a Premier League season - the lowest total on record by any side since 2003-04.

How Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler views his side's performance will largely depend on which half he is analysing. After thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 at the Amex on the opening weekend of the season, the Seagulls were expected to make a lightning-quick start on home soil once again.

Hull City are just the third newly promoted side to keep a clean sheet in each of their opening three Premier League games of a season after Charlton Athletic in 1998-99 and Huddersfield Town in 2017-18. Hull City are the sixth newly promoted side to earn 7+ points in their opening three games of a Premier League season and first since Huddersfield Town in 2017-18.
