Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The American Express Community Stadium
Nottingham Forest climbed off the bottom of the Premier League table following a battling goalless draw which extended Roberto De Zerbi’s winless start as Brighton and Hove Albion manager.
Seagulls forward Leandro Trossard rattled the crossbar in the first half on a frustrating evening for the dominant hosts at the Amex Stadium, while Pascal Gross was denied a late winner by a superb save from visiting goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Struggling Forest failed to register an effort on target but moved a point and a place above East Midlands rivals Leicester after doggedly digging in to claim only a sixth point of a difficult campaign to date.
Brighton remain seventh having failed to score in three successive games, while they have taken just two points from a possible 12 since the appointment of head coach De Zerbi a month ago.
Profligate Albion managed 19 attempts at goal but, aside from expertly clawing away from Gross nine minutes from time, England World Cup hopeful Henderson was rarely tested.

BLOCK! Trossard is played into space on the edge of the box and he tries to fire at goal on his left foot, only to see his effort blocked by McKenna.

CHANCE! Gross has to score! He latches on to a glancing header from Welbeck after Lamptey found space to dig out a cross from the right flank. The German has space and time to find the net, but he slices his effort into the ground and allows Henderson to push it away from the net.

OVER! Gibbs-White floats a dangerous cross into the box for McKenna to attack at the back post, but his headed effort floats over the bar.
