Lewis Dunk says Albion have set the standard for the rest of the season with their resilient performance against Wolves.

The skipper marked his 300th senior appearance, all but three of which have come in an Albion shirt, by helping the Seagulls draw 0-0 with Champions League chasing Wolves at Molineux.

"It was nice to mark my 300th game with a clean sheet which we really needed," said Dunk.

"That's two gritty away performances now, with Sheffield United a couple of weeks ago as well, against two sides who are doing well in the league.

"Wolves have got players who can hurt you - they are a top side - but we stayed focused and worked hard to get a clean sheet we haven't had for a long time. It gives us a base to build on in the last nine games of the season."

Dunk made his Albion debut back in 2010 and having got to the Premier League he is determined to make sure they stay there.

"We had to work hard to get to this level and we need to stay here. We need to fight in every game between now and the end of the season and make sure we're in the Premier League next year and building on what we have achieved in the last three seasons."

Next up for Albion is the visit of Arsenal to the Amex on Saturday and the opportunity to claim their first double of the season.

"We showed in that game that we can compete against the best and results against top teams only builds confidence.

"Arsenal have improved under their new manager but we have given ourselves something to build on with the performance against Wolves and it's a game we'll prepare well for and look forward to."
