Brighton 2-2 Nottingham Forest: Seagulls remain unbeaten, but two dropped points?

The good news for Brighton fans is their side remains unbeaten in all competitions after a thrilling 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at Amex Stadium.

But, just like in their last league game when they dominated at home against Ipswich Town but drew 0-0, there was a feeling among the players that this was two points dropped.

Indeed, two goals in a three-minute spell, a powerful header from Jack Hinshelwood and an excellent Danny Welbeck free-kick, swung the game in Brighton's favour after the visitors had taken an early lead through Chris Wood's penalty.

But the hosts could not hang on to the lead and poor defending allowed Morgan Gibbs-White to race through and set up substitute Ramon Sosa to score an equaliser.

Brighton have won two and drawn three of their first five league matches as well as progressed into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

However, they now have a daunting run in their six fixtures, including matches against Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City - games which will give us a better indication to the strength of the Seagulls this season.

Boss Fabian Hurzeler will not be on the touchline for the game at Chelsea on Saturday as both managers, along with Gibbs-White, were dismissed in a chaotic finale to a thrilling afternoon.
