Brighton edge closer to safety

Brighton and Hove Albion have picked up another valuable point in their quest to remain in English football's Premier League.

The Seagulls have drawn 0-0 with Everton to move up one place to 15th on the table.

They now have 33 points, seven clear of 18th-placed Fulham.

Everton remain eighth, a point behind Tottenham Hotspur, but have a game in hand.

West Bromwich Albion earlier beat Southampton 3-0 in convincing fashion as Sam Allardyce's side look to salvage their top flight survival hopes in the home stretch of the season.

A second victory in as many matches moved West Brom, 19th, eight points behind 17th-placed Newcastle United with seven games to go while Southampton remained in 14th.
