    That goal is where he is lively like a 'Fox In The Box' and it was a great header from Hemed to Murray.

  4. CLOSE!published at 72 mins

    Brighton 2-0 Nottm Forest

    Albion come so close to a third goal.

    Jiri Skalak gets the better of Hildeberto Pereira on the right and curls in a cross with the outside of his right boot.

    And from the free-kick Brighton have their second goal of the evening!

    It's fairly simple in the end as the Forest marking was pretty non-existant.

    Tomer Hemed rises at the far post unchallenged and heads down, allowing Glenn Murray to stab the ball past Stephen Henderson.

    That's Murray's first goal for Brighton since rejoining the club on loan from Bournemouth this summer.

    Fellow centre-back Damien Perquis is there to meet it but his header goes well over the Albion crossbar.

    The visitors are starting to carve out chances in this second half.

    Brighton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Brighton winger Jiri Skalak has the ball in the back of the Forest net, but he's been flagged offside from Glenn Murray's header.

    The flag went up very early, before the Czech Republic international even struck for goal.

    A good decision from the officials.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 59 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Now Forest centre-back Alex Iacovitti gets shown a yellow for blocking off Liam Rosenior, who had knocked the ball past the teenager.

  15. CLOSE!published at 54 mins

    Albion have had 70 percent of possession since the break.

    Brighton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Forest win a kick on the left flank but there is too much pace on Henri Lansbury's ball and it goes straight through to Albion goalie David Stockdale.

    Stockdale hasn't had to do too much this evening, although Oliver Burke shot narrowly wide in the first half.

  20. Postpublished at 48 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Brighton have started the second half on top and Gaetan Bong puts in a cross from the left hand side, but Forest keeper Stephen Henderson manages to come and claim it.
