Brighton secured a third away win of the seasonSubstitute Joao Pedro scored twice as 10-man Brighton condemned Nottingham Forest to a first home defeat of the season in a fiery five-goal thriller at the City Ground.
Anthony Elanga had put Forest in front early on, but Evan Ferguson levelled before Pedro's double.
He was called upon in the first half to replace the injured Ansu Fati and scored deep into injury-time with a header, and then after the break from the penalty spot to put the Seagulls 3-1 ahead.
Forest pulled one back with Morgan Gibbs-White scoring a penalty after a VAR review, while Lewis Dunk was shown two yellow cards in quick succession and sent off for protesting too vigorously.
