This Sunday, the fifth day of the Premier League continued with a top-of-the-table duel between Brighton (7th, 8 points) and Nottingham Forest (9th, 8 points). If the Seagulls took control of the game and Simon Adingra had the first chance (9th), in the process, Carlos Baleba conceded a penalty following a slight foul on Callum Hudson-Odoi. Chris Wood then took charge of converting the sentence (1-0, 11th). Brighton pushed and would finally break the deadlock at the end of the first half. On a cross from Jan Paul van Hecke, Jack Hinshelwood took charge of equalizing (1-1, 42nd). Brighton even took the lead with a free kick. Positioned on the left 30 meters from the goal, Danny Welbeck got the better of Matz Sels with a shot that lodged on the right of his goal (2-1, 45th).
Confident, the English striker was even very close to a double after the break with a little number in the opposing area, but Matz Sels was vigilant this time (50th). While we were closer to a third goal for the locals, Nottingham Forest were going to hurt on the counter with Jota Silva who was launched behind the defense. Well covered by Joël Veltman, he then served Ramon Sosa who equalized (2-2, 70th). Finally, the happiness was short-lived for Nottingham Forest since Morgan Gibbs-White was sent off following a serious foul on Joao Pedro and received a second yellow card (83rd). Coach Nuno Espirito Santo was sent off in the process. Finally, Brighton pushed, but it was not enough. The two teams left with a 2-2 draw which suited no one.
