Brighton drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at home. Despite falling behind in the 13th minute with a penalty goal, the home team equalized with about 5 minutes left in the first half and managed to take the lead in the last minutes. Brighton couldn't maintain their 2-1 lead in the first half and conceded the second goal in the 70th minute. I think it was an important 2 points lost for Brighton who had more possession and created more chances than their opponent.

Brighton walked away with 1 point, and they dropped 2 points. Their defense was so sloppy defending in the late game. They were also showing how they struggled against Nottingham's low-block strategy. They have no one with the skill set to break down their opponent's deep defence.

They fought back well in the first half after a poor 40 minutes. They scored their two goals after escaping their poor play. Their poor defence at the second half let their opponent equalize the score.

I think the draw achieved by Brighton is already a good result rather than having to suffer a defeat because Nothingham Forest's recent performance is worth watching out for, this club was able to beat Liverpool at Anfield and that was a surprise so it could be that it's not Brighton's defense that is bad, it's just that their opponent's performance is trying to put pressure on the hosts so that they have difficulty balancing their game.

Although they got a draw against Nottingham, they still keep their unbeaten record. Their defense needs to improve to beat Chelsea in their next game at Stamford Bridge.

I think that is a challenge for Brighton next because Chelsea is not a weak club like last season, they have won a lot recently and in their last match they beat West Ham with a landslide score without reply so Brighton must play a defensive strategy so that Chelsea players have difficulty breaking into their goal.
