Fabian Hurzeler was sent off for his protests

Referee Rob Jones initially waved the challenge on, signalling with his hands that Gibbs-White had won the ball.

Before quickly changing his mind and dishing a second yellow to the Forest captain.

Sparking fury among both benches.

Jones then issued out two more straight reds to Hurzeler and Nuno Espirito Santo for their objections.

It boiled over on the touchline after the tacke.

The Premier League have cited that they were shown red after “unacceptable technical area behaviour”.

Away manager Nuno was furious at the red while Hurzeler was demanding that Gibbs-White was given his marching orders. 

With the time between the challenge and the red card, Nuno seemed to insinuate that fourth official Anthony Taylor played a key role in the dismissal.

The score 2-2 at the time, with Brighton initially going 1-0 down.

Danny Welbeck scored his first direct free kick in the Premier League as Brighton drew with Forest at the Amex.
