Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion faced off in a Premier League match on Saturday, August 19, 2023, at The City Ground in Nottingham, England. Forest, who were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years, came into the match with a 1-1 draw against Everton in their opening game, while Brighton had lost 2-0 to Manchester United.
Summary
Brighton took the lead in the 35th minute through a goal from Neal Maupay, but Forest equalized just before half-time through a penalty converted by Brennan Johnson. The second half was a tense affair, with both teams having chances to win the game. However, neither side could find a winning goal, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Key Moments

- 45 minutes: Forest equalize through a penalty converted by Brennan Johnson, after Yves Bissouma fouls Johnson in the box.
- 60 minutes: Forest have a great chance to take the lead, but Emmanuel Dennis fires wide from close range.
- 80 minutes: Brighton have a chance to win the game, but Marc Cucurella’s shot is saved by Dean Henderson.
Analysis
Forest showed great character to come back from a goal down against a Brighton side that will be expected to finish in the top half of the table this season. Forest were well-organized defensively and dangerous on the counter-attack, with Johnson and Dennis causing Brighton problems throughout the game.
Brighton were the better team for large parts of the match, but they were unable to make their dominance count. They created a number of good chances, but they were wasteful in front of goal. Maupay and Trossard were both guilty of missing good chances, and Cucurella’s late effort was well saved by Henderson.
Conclusions
The 1-1 draw was a fair result in the end. Forest will be happy with a point against a strong Brighton side, while Brighton will be disappointed not to have won the game. Both teams will be looking to build on this result when they face Fulham and Newcastle United respectively in their next matches.
