Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler and Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo were both sent off in a dramatic conclusion to their teams' 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday. The match at Amex Stadium took a heated turn when Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White received a second yellow card in the 83rd minute for a reckless challenge on Joao Pedro.
This incident led to a flurry of emotions on the sidelines, resulting in referee Robert Jones issuing red cards to both Espírito Santo and Hurzeler for what was deemed as 'unacceptable technical area behavior' by the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest, fresh off a surprising 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, opened the scoring on Sunday with Chris Wood converting a penalty in the 13th minute. However, Brighton turned the tide before halftime with goals from Jack Hinshelwood in the 42nd minute and Danny Welbeck in the 45th minute.
Ramon Sosa managed to level the game for Nottingham Forest in the 70th minute, setting the stage for a tense finish.
In other Premier League action, Manchester City is set to face Arsenal later on Sunday in what promises to be a highly anticipated match in the fifth round of fixtures.
