Anderson’s nook is handled by the Seagulls defence. A lot livelier opening to this second half and the group are responding accordingly.

Higher ball motion from Brighton, it’s labored to Welbeck within the field and blocked away for a nook.

Ayari curls it into the close to submit, half-cleared however performed again in to Rutter who turns Williams and shoots from a good angle however over the crossbar. Extra promising, although.

Again underway. Hopefully a bit extra pleasure on this second half

And that’s half-time. This sport hasn’t actually sparked into life but – restricted clear-cut possibilities for both facet in a cagey match.

Forest possibly had the higher of it however Brighton began to settle in the direction of the tip of the primary half.

We’d like some extra real motion after the break although.

Baleba has been very quiet on this sport. Indicative of Brighton’s struggles however Forest haven’t created a lot that’s clear-cut.

As I say that, Baleba takes intention from 20 yards. He chests the ball down and lashes it in the direction of objective however it’s narrowly broad. Sels in all probability wasn’t saving that had it been heading in the right direction.

Half-chance for Brighton as Mitoma seems to spring the offside lure. He’s received half a yard on the Forest defence as Rutter dinks the ball excessive however it’s an outstanding restoration by Milenkovic to scramble again and muscle the Japanese worldwide off the ball.

A warning shot for Forest, maybe.

Fortunately there are not any Brighton gamers following in. It was a bit awkward however not that awkward

Aina will get in behind Van Hecke however his ball from the byline is scrambled away within the centre of the field. Brighton struggling to get right into a rhythm right here.

Greatest second for Brighton as far as Ayari lasers a first-time shot in the direction of objective from distance and it deflects broad.

Estupinan’s nook is in the direction of Van Hecke on the again submit however play is shortly stopped for a foul and Forest can clear.

We’ve been missing clear-cut possibilities on this one up to now. Maybe not an enormous shock given every little thing that’s at stake.

Forest have in all probability had marginally the higher of issues for what it’s value.
