Revenge is best served on a freezing cold day at the City Ground, Brighton found, as the Seagulls made amends for being thrashed 7-0 here 10 months ago. If Sean Dyche thought pummelling the Premier League champions last week was a sign of what was to come, he was given a shock here against a side that flew up to fifth.
Fabian Hürzeler is an innovator, picking as a winger the left-back Maxim De Cuyper, as Brighton targeted a perceived weak spot on the Forest right. The German was proved correct with his selection as the auxiliary midfielder opened the scoring before Stefanos Tzimas removed nerves late on after making the most of a Morato error.
