Neal Maupay's missed penalty proved pivotal as Brighton and Leicester played out a drab Premier League goalless draw at the King Power Stadium.


Frenchman Maupay, Brighton's hero in the previous game with a late winner against Arsenal, had his first-half spot-kick brilliantly saved by Kasper Schmeichel low to his right.

It was the only chance of note in a lacklustre match, not helped by an empty stadium or the scorching weather.

The point consolidated Leicester's hold on third place in the table, nine points clear of Manchester United in fifth, while Brighton moved six points away from the relegation zone.
