Head coach Steve Cooper thanked his Nottingham Forest players for sticking to the plan as they ended their winless run by beating Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Reds came from behind to halt a streak of 11 games without a victory, claiming a huge 3-1 result at the City Ground. A Pascal Gross own goal - from Renan Lodi’s cross-shot - cancelled out Facundo Buonanotte’s opener, then Danilo and a Morgan Gibbs-White secured the points in the second half.
The win lifted Forest out of the relegation zone with five matches to play. But while Cooper played down climbing out of the bottom three, he hailed his team’s effort.
