So often one of the most entertaining sides in the Premier League, Brighton took some time to get going but have lived up to their billing against Nottingham Forest.
Chris Wood gave Nottingham Forest the lead with a penalty, but two goals in four minutes at the end of the first half turned the game on it’s head.
First, Jack Hinshelwood popped up to power home a header, before Danny Welbeck stepped forward to curl a free kick past the Forest goalkeeper. It was his first ever free kick goal, and came with just his fourth attempt!
1 – Danny Welbeck has now scored 70 Premier League goals, but today was his first to come from a direct free-kick (4th direct free-kick shot). Unlikely. pic.twitter.com/zDACzLF0Kc
