Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The American Express Community Stadium
Nottingham Forest climbed off the bottom of the Premier League table following a battling goalless draw which extended Roberto De Zerbi’s winless start as Brighton and Hove Albion manager.
Seagulls forward Leandro Trossard rattled the crossbar in the first half on a frustrating evening for the dominant hosts at the Amex Stadium, while Pascal Gross was denied a late winner by a superb save from visiting goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Struggling Forest failed to register an effort on target but moved a point and a place above East Midlands rivals Leicester after doggedly digging in to claim only a sixth point of a difficult campaign to date.
Brighton remain seventh having failed to score in three successive games, while they have taken just two points from a possible 12 since the appointment of head coach De Zerbi a month ago.
Profligate Albion managed 19 attempts at goal but, aside from expertly clawing away from Gross nine minutes from time, England World Cup hopeful Henderson was rarely tested.

Brighton and Hove Albion are held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest in their Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls had a host of chances in the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net. Leandro Trossard struck the bar, while Pascal Gross saw a tame effort saved by Dean Henderson. Gross missed another good opportunity in the second half as the home side lacked a clinical edge to claim the three points. Forest barely threatened, but will be pleased to leave the south coast with a valuable point.

Undav makes a good run into the box, but he gets crowded out before he can pull the trigger from the inside-left channel.

CLOSE! Biancone raids down the right flank and delivers a low cross into the middle. Dunk slides to divert it away from goal, but his clearance slams straight into Awoniyi and travels just wide of the right post.
