Tranmere stay on the fringe of the League One play-offs after a goalless draw at Brighton.

Rovers felt they should have had a spot-kick when Charlie Barrett was brought down by Andrew Whing after he broke clear.

But the Seagulls could also have had a penalty when Whing's 65th-minute throw-in into the area appeared to strike the hand of Ian Goodison.

Michel Kuipers' save from Ben Chorley prevented a late Rovers winner.

Brighton:

Kuipers, Whing, Hinshelwood, Virgo, Borrowdale (Mayo 84), Cox, Dicker, Bangura (El-Abd 79), Owusu, Davies, Murray (Carole 70).
Subs Not Used: Sullivan, McLeod.

Tranmere: Coyne, Chorley, Goodison, Kay, Edds, Cresswell, Jennings, Sonko, Barnett, Moore (Curran 74), Savage.
Subs Not Used: Achterberg, Taylor, Waterfall, Burns.

Att: 5,819
