After a slow start, Chris Wood put Forest ahead from the penalty spot, but Brighton quickly turned the tide with goals from Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck. Despite their early lead, the Seagulls couldn’t hold onto it as Sosa equalized for Forest after a swift counter-attack.

As the game intensified, tempers flared, and both managers were shown red cards for their reactions to a contentious challenge on Joao Pedro. The match ended in a dramatic draw, leaving Assistant Manager Andrew Crofts frustrated but determined to learn from the experience.

Speaking to the press post-match, Crofts expressed disappointment in the result, emphasizing the need to analyze and grow from the game’s events. He highlighted a late challenge on Pedro as a key moment of contention, noting the differing perspectives from both benches and the referee’s decision.

While unable to comment definitively on the incident without reviewing the footage, Crofts remained composed and focused on the team’s improvement moving forward.
