Brighton and Nottingham won their matches.
With Manchester City and Arsenal set to face off in a highly anticipated game on Sunday, these two sides are the only teams still unbeaten in the competition this season after a thrilling game at the Amex Stadium. The chaotic match showed the intensity of the league and highlighted the competitive spirit between top clubs as they look to continue their unbeaten record.
The match at the Amex Stadium ended in controversy after four goals were scored, with Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White receiving a second yellow card for a sliding tackle on Brighton’s Joao Pedro. Following the incident, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler was sent off by referee Rob Jones, who also issued a red card to Forest’s Nuno Espirito Santo for his response to the situation, adding further drama to an already intense match.
The visitors took the lead when former Brighton striker Chris Wood converted a penalty after Carlos Valeba had fouled Callum Hudson-Odoi in the box. But two quick goals in three minutes just before half-time changed the game, dramatically changing the momentum and leaving Brighton in a strong position heading into the break.
Midfielder Jack Hinshelwood levelled the score at 1-1 for Brighton when he powerfully headed in Jan-Paul van Heke’s deep cross. The Seagulls then went ahead with a stunning 25-yard free-kick from Danny Welbeck, which curled beautifully over the wall and denied goalkeeper Mats Sells a chance.
Welbeck almost scored a third goal with an impressive dribble past three Forest defenders, but his shot narrowly missed the post. Forest equalised in the 70th minute after successfully exploiting Brighton’s offside trap.
Gibbs-White ran perfectly to the goal and unselfishly passed to substitute Ramon Sosa, who scored his first goal in English football. Both teams had the chance to move up to fourth with a win, but the draw left Brighton in seventh place and Nottingham Forest in eighth. The match highlighted the competitive nature of the league as both teams continue to push for a better finish.
