Brighton stay top of the Championship after a 1-0 win away at Bristol City.
The home side created few chances all afternoon and had goalkeeper David James to thank for keeping the scores level.
The deadlock was finally broken with 10 minutes to play after Ashley Barnes hit home the rebound from Craig Mackail-Smith's parried shot.
While the Seagulls remain a point ahead of Southampton, City slip down to 20th in the table.
