Nottingham Forest suffered a second consecutive Premier League defeat under new manager Vitor Pereira, losing to Brighton 2-0 with goals from Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck. The loss leaves Forest precariously positioned just two points clear of the relegation zone ahead of a challenging fixture against Manchester City. Brighton improved their position to 11th place with the victory, easing pressure on manager Fabian Hurzeler after a difficult run of form.
