Brighton and Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten Premier League records in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Amex Stadium, marked by controversy and three red cards.

Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White received a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Brighton's Joao Pedro, prompting a heated reaction from both benches. Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler and Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo were subsequently sent off.

The visitors took the lead through Chris Wood's well-taken penalty, but Brighton responded with two goals before halftime. Jack Hinshelwood's powerful header and Danny Welbeck's superb free-kick put the Seagulls ahead.

However, Forest equalized in the 70th minute when Gibbs-White timed his run perfectly and squared the ball to substitute Ramon Sosa for his first English football goal.

Both teams had chances to win, but ultimately settled for a point apiece. Brighton remains seventh, while Forest climbs to eighth.
