Brighton haven't managed the same attacking output in the second half, but they've certainly defended well when called upon under the Forest pressure.

CHAOS AS FOREST GO CLOSE TO EQUALISING!! Brighton are left to desperately scramble the ball clear as Forest launch several efforts on goal late on. First it was Gibbs-White, whose scuffed effort fell to Cunha in the penalty area. The latter then launched his own shot on goal, only to see it blocked brillianlty by Van Hecke. The ball then bobbled to Bakwa, who struck it cleanly but saw his effort blocked, too, as the Seagulls clamoured to hoof it away. Superb defending at the death from the home side!
