After that 3-0 win for Brighton at the Amex, the new EFL season rolls throughout the weekend and we'll be back from 14:00 BST on Saturday with build-up to all the day's action.

In the Championship, Newcastle and Aston Villa will be looking for their first wins since dropping out of the Premier League, before Norwich host Sheffield Wednesday in the 17:30 kick-off.

There will also be 11 games in League One and a full programme of League Two fixtures - do be sure to join us for all that tomorrow.

Until then, thanks for joining us this evening and goodbye.

Brighton missed out on automatic promotion last season on goal difference and then lost in the play-off semi-finals to Sheffield Wednesday.

However, the Seagulls have kept the core of the squad together and are expected to challenge at the top of the Championship again this season.

They have set down an early marker with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest this evening.

Seagulls fans will be delighted that Glenn Murray is off the mark in his second spell at the club, but that late injury for David Stockdale will be a concern for boss Chris Hughton.

Andrew Madley blows his whistle and brings proceedings to an end at the Amex Stadium.

In the end it was a straightforward victory for Brighton following Anthony Knockaert's opener and a brace from Glenn Murray.

Brighton go top of the Championship... until the rest of the division are in action tomorrow.

We'll be going for a bit longer after that delay for treatment for David Stockdale.

Glenn Murray wins a free-kick just outside the Forest area and then heads narrowly wide from Oliver Norwood's delivery.

Murray was clearly offside though, so it wouldn't have counted.

Brighton keeper David Stockdale is back on his feet but he's going to come off.

Centre-back Lewis Dunk has stripped off his shirt to put on Stockdale's shirt and will take the gloves for the last couple of minutes.

An outfield player in goal could add some late excitement here, with the game safe for Brighton.

Brighton have a late worry here over keeper David Stockdale.

He collided with left-back Gaetan Bong while collecting a cross and is down getting treatment.

It looks to be an ankle injury for Stockdale. He might not be able to continue. Brighton have used all their substitutes.

Dale Stephens tests Forest keeper Stephen Henderson from the free-kick.

It's a simple one for the Irishman, straight at him.

We are into five minutes of injury time.

Brighton get a free-kick about 30 yards out after Anthony Knockaert is fouled by Henri Lansbury following another Brighton break.

Brighton somehow keep a clean sheet after an almighty scramble in the box.

Hildeberto Pereira breaks into the box and finds Jamie Paterson, who has a shot blocked.

An Albion player then heads back into danger, and Lewis Dunk has to block a shot from Lars Veldwijk.

Brighton substitute Sam Baldock picks up a yellow for dissent after a coming together with Hildeberto Pereira.

From the resulting free-kick Lars Veldwijk heads well wide of goal.

Albion striker Glenn Murray comes close to completing his hat-trick.

He's released by a ball by Oliver Norwood and a good touch takes him into the area.

However Stephen Henderson comes out and turns his shot behind for a corner.

Action at both ends after Brighton's third goal of the evening.

Forest's Hildeberto Pereira sends a shot wide and then Sam Baldock goes close at the other end.

Meanwhile Oliver Norwood has replaced Jiri Skalak for Albion.

Pajtim Kasami drifts a ball into the Albion box looking for Apostolos Vellios, but the Greek striker is not on the same wavelength.

Kasami has been at the heart of the best things going forward for the visitors tonight.

Meanwhile, Albion striker Glenn Murray and Forest centre-back Damien Perquis have a little coming together but referee Andrew Madley steps in before it gets too heated.

They won't from that delivery, as Henri Lansbury's ball in goes past everyone, including Lars Veldwijk at the back post, and drifts out for a goal kick.

Forest win a corner as a deep free-kick into the box is turned behind by Liam Rosenior.

Can Forest find a way back into the match?

Forest make their final change of the evening, as former Everton striker Apostolos Vellios comes on for Oliver Burke.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton has made his first two changes of the evening.

Sam Baldock and Dale Stephens are on for Tomer Hemed and Beram Kayal.

Meanwhile, Forest have replaced Alex Iacovitti with Jamie Patterson.
