The first of the midweek Premier League action got under way on the south coast, with Brighton & Hove Albion hosting Nottingham Forest.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson continued his run in Forest’s goal and was forced into making a couple of brilliant saves, as the Seagulls dominated the game but could not find a way through.
A point-blank reaction stop from Pascal Gross in the closing stages was the clear highlight, and manager Steve Cooper was keen to raise the 25-year-old’s contribution following the 0-0 draw, which lifts the East Midlanders off the bottom of the table, at least until Thursday when rivals Leicester City face Leeds United.
