"Brighton came flying out of the blocks with nine shots in the opening 20 minutes, their most ever in the first 20 minutes of a Premier League match. Fabian Hurzeler's team finished with 17 shots, and 13 of those came in the first half, showing just how on top they were before the break, with Forest only going close when Morgan Gibbs-White flashed a volley wide."
"Yet it took until the 88th minute for Brighton to wrap up the points, as Tzimas, aged 19 years and 328 days, became the seventh different teenager to score for Brighton in the Premier League. With Charalampos Kostoulas also on target this season, the Seagulls are the first team in Premier League history to have two different Greek players find the net in the same campaign."
Brighton secured a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest through goals from Maxim De Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas. Brighton dominated early, registering nine shots in the opening 20 minutes and finishing with 17 shots overall, 13 in the first half. De Cuyper scored in first-half stoppage time after several early chances were wasted. Forest, arriving on a three-match winning run, could not score after the break despite goalkeeper Matz Sels making notable saves and Bart Verbruggen denying Igor Jesus. Tzimas, 19 years and 328 days old, became Brighton's seventh Premier League teenage scorer; Brighton also recorded two different Greek scorers this season.
