Brighton 2-2 Nottingham Forest: Morgan Gibbs-White sent off during entertaining draw as both teams maintain their unbeaten starts

Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest both remain unbeaten so far this season after playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the AMEX Stadium on Sunday.

Forest – high on confidence after winning at Liverpool last week – took an early lead courtesy of a Chris Wood penalty kick.

But goals from Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck saw Brighton turn the game around to lead by half-time.

Forest hit back to level in the 70th minute though when summer signing Ramos Sosa netted for the first time in his Premier League career.

Morgan Gibbs-White was then sent off with seven minutes of normal time remaining after picking up his second yellow card.

Despite having to play the final stage of the game with just 10 men, Forest held on for their ninth point of the campaign.

Brighton also have nine points from their first five league matches, while both teams progressed in the EFL Cup earlier this week.
