Nottingham Forest's Premier League survival hopes took a significant blow as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck scored either side of a stunning Morgan Gibbs-White equalizer in a frantic first 15 minutes that ultimately decided the match.

With Burnley, West Ham, and Tottenham all losing this weekend, the defeat meant Forest failed to capitalize on their rivals' struggles, remaining in 17th place with just 10 games remaining. The loss highlighted Forest's ongoing goal-scoring crisis, with the team managing only one goal from 66 attempts across their last three Premier League fixtures.

Vitor Pereira's side created enough chances to take something from the game but lacked the clinical edge needed in crucial moments. Forest's top seven scorers haven't even matched what Chris Wood achieved alone last season, underscoring the depth of their attacking problems. With relegation rivals still breathing down their necks, Pereira must find a solution quickly or risk seeing his team dragged into the Championship.
