Matz Sels, the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper, faced criticism after allowing two goals in their recent 2-2 draw against Brighton in the Premier League. The game started positively for Forest with an early penalty goal, but they soon conceded two goals before managing to equalize late in the match. Despite the comeback, Forest ended the game with 10 men after Morgan Gibbs-White received a red card.
Sels, who received a low player rating of five out of 10, was particularly faulted for his positioning during both goals. Sarah Clapson, a reporter for Nottinghamshire Live, highlighted his errors in her analysis of the game. Sels made only one save and struggled with his distribution throughout the match.
The match was eventful, with Gibbs-White’s red card sparking controversy and action from the Premier League. The decision to send him off for a second bookable offence was explained through the Match Centre on social media. Both managers, including Forest’s Nuno Espirito Santo, were also ejected from the game for their behaviour in the technical area.
As a result, Forest will be without Gibbs-White for their upcoming match against Fulham, and Espirito Santo will be unable to manage from the touchline. Meanwhile, Brighton’s manager will also face a touchline ban for their next game against Chelsea.
