Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
This one won’t exactly go down as a classic, yet Brighton won’t care with this key 1-0 victory. They've got the vital three points to fuel their continued European dreams even amid the most determined of Nottingham Forest’s efforts. Where Brighton made goalkeeper Sels work, it was ultimately Omobamidele that would cause the most problems for his team-mate, as his own goal just before the 30 minute mark proved to be decisive. Up the other end, Verbruggen remained strong against Nuno's side - with two notable shots from Origi being their best chances to get even, the Dutchman saved one - and watched the other sail into the stands. Brighton push on in now in eighth and face Roma in their Europa League round-of-16 second leg. Forest meanwhile, still look over their shoulders at the relegation zone in 17th place and ready themselves for Saturday's crucial game against 18th-placed Luton Town. Thank you for joining us this afternoon, goodbye!

Brighton have a corner on the left. They keep it short. Another one is to follow. Frustrating here, for anyone of a Forest persuasion.

Kouyate provides a continued dynamic to Forest. Although, this time, it's not an effort on goal. It's a handball. He then fouls Gross after he whips out a deft backheel flick. Pascal, you should know you don't try that when Kouyate carnage is underway!

There's still time... We have six minutes of added time to negotiate here.

KOUYATE CLOSE! A flighted free-kick from deep goes to the left post. Kouyate is arriving and heads a speculative effort on Verbruggen's goal. The 'keeper is a little unsettled but is thankful it floats just too high and nestles in the roof off the net.
