Quiet, the Villans gave a last boost at the end of the match with a new penalty failed by Marco Asensio, but this time followed by John McGinn who offered the 0-3 to his own (90th+4).
Forest falls again

Forest still retains his third place while the toftes date back to fourteenth row.
Brighton shared the points with a team of Leicester which managed to stop a terrible series of nine consecutive defeats, all competitions combined (2-2). Foxes should not, however, escape relegation.
