Brighton 0 Nottingham Forest 0
moved off the foot of the Premier League with a hard-earned point at the Amex last night to leave new head coach Roberto De Zerbi still awaiting his first victory.
Seagulls forward Leandro Trossard went closest to a breakthrough, hitting the top of the crossbar from just inside Forest’s 18-yard box in the 31st minute.
The hosts had 19 attempts on goal, compared to Forest’s three, but were frustrated by some determined defending from Steve Cooper’s side and have failed to score for three successive games.
Pascal Gross was denied a late winner by a superb save from visiting keeper Dean Henderson while Forest failed to muster a shot on target.
But Cooper’s men still moved a point and a place above East Midlands rivals after doggedly digging in to claim only a sixth point of a difficult campaign to date.
Brighton remain seventh but have taken just two points from a possible 12 since the appointment of De Zerbi to replace a month ago.
