Nottingham Forest vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as visitors hang on to win

Joao Pedro gives the ball away in a dangerous position and Mangala drives down the right-hand side, getting to the byline. The midfielder looks to send a cross into the box, but it's deflected behind for a corner. Toffolo delivers to the back post and finds Danilo, but he gets his shot all wrong and it goes behind.

Brighton win a free-kick deep inside the Forest half as Murillo makes a strong challenge on Ferguson. Dunk is standing over it and it looks as though he's going to try and test the goalkeeper. He strikes it... but it flies over the bar.

The second half is under way at The City Ground.

Lallana is taken off at half-time as Brighton make their third change of the game. Buonanotte is the player to come on in his place.

Brighton have managed to score twice from just 0.58 expected goals (xG), with Forest staying resolute at the back for the most part. Cooper won't be too disappointed with how his side have played, but his defenders could have done better to prevent both strikes in the first half. If Forest are to get back into the game, Gibbs-White is likely to be the one to produce the goods. The midfielder provided an assist for Elanga while also creating three chances.

Brighton go into the break with a 2-1 lead over Forest at The City Ground. Cooper’s side opened the scoring early on as Elanga scored a bullet header at the back post after some excellent work from Gibbs-White. The Seagulls then found an equaliser later in the half, with Ferguson curling his strike beyond the goalkeeper from inside the box. Just before half-time, De Zerbi’s men took the lead, with Joao Pedro heading home from Gross’ delivery.
