Brighton and Forest slug out eventful draw

Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten starts to the Premier League season with a topsy-turvy 2-2 draw as the visitors finished with 10 men on Sunday.

Forest led through Chris Wood's 13th-minute penalty but Brighton finally sprang to life just before the interval to turn the match on its head with two goals in three minutes.

Jack Hinshelwood powered in a headed equaliser after 42 minutes before Danny Welbeck curled a free kick inside the post.

Forest were rewarded for their efforts though as Ramon Sosa slotted home from close range in the 70th.

Tempers flared when Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White was shown a red card for a robust tackle which earned him a second booking and both managers were also sent from the technical area.
