Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Nottingham Forest: Hosts held to goalless draw by strugglers

[ad_1]

Brighton v Forest
Brighton had 19 efforts on goal against Nottingham Forest

Brighton’s winless run under new boss Roberto de Zerbi continued with a frustrating Premier League draw against strugglers Nottingham Forest.

The Italian is the first Brighton manager to fail to win any of his first four league games since Barry Lloyd in 1987.

The results sees Brighton stay seventh after stuttering in recent weeks, picking up just two points from four games since the departure of Graham Potter to Chelsea.

However, quite how the hosts did not manage to win will mystify and exasperate the new man at the helm.

De Zerbi’s side were dominant throughout and spurned several gilt-edged chances against a Forest side that appeared happy to try to contain their opponents.

Leandro Trossard saw a powerful effort cannon back off the crossbar and was twice denied by good saves from Dean Henderson.

Both Adam Webster and Joel Veltman missed glaring opportunities from close range and Henderson came to Forest’s rescue again late on, his superb save from Pascal Gross ensuring that Steve Cooper’s men climb off the bottom of the table.

More to follow.
