Huge Brighton win prompts ‘unreal’ Nottingham Forest message

Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social media to give their instant reaction to a huge three points against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Reds went into the game knowing that a win would move them out of the relegation zone and above Everton and Leicester City after the latter’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Tuesday night.

Forest did however have to come from behind, after they saw an early penalty saved by Jason Steele. Facundo Buonanotte put Brighton 1-0 up, but an own goal from Pascal Gross saw Forest draw level on the stroke of half time.

The second half saw Danilo grab the lead for Forest, with Morgan Gibbs-White put the result beyond doubt from the penalty spot to send the City Ground wild. It means that the Reds are now one point above the bottom three.
