During the first half, Buonanotte became the youngest non-European player ever to score on his first Premier League start, aged just 18 years 124 days. He clearly has De Zerbi's faith, having been selected ahead of Welbeck today, but can the Argentinian starlet go on and make more history after the interval?

An eventful first half ends all-square in Nottingham, as the hosts draw level only seconds before half-time. As expected, Brighton bossed possession and controlled large swathes of the game, but Forest look more dangerous on the counter and will walk down the tunnel with spirits raised. Gloom could easily have descended after Johnson's missed penalty was followed by Buonanotte's strike for the Seagulls, but this contest remains very much in the balance at the break.
