Ramón Sosa shares points as Brighton and Nottingham Forest stay unbeaten
Nuno Espírito Santo utilised his bench to great effect in Nottingham Forest’s stunning victory at Anfield last week and his decision-making paid off again with his substitutes delivering an equaliser at Brighton to ensure both teams remain undefeated this season. The red mist then descended on the Amex Stadium as tempers reached boiling point. Forest’s midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White was sent off in the closing stages for a second booking while both Nuno and Brighton’s manager, Fabian Hürzeler, were dismissed for their furious reactions on the touchline in a feisty finale.
Chris Wood’s early penalty sparked hopes of a fifth successive away victory for Forest stretching back to the end of last season. Brighton had to wait patiently but two goals at the end of the first half – a magnificent header from the hometown teenager Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck’s curling free-kick – turned the contest on its head.
