'That is the referee's call and what he is paid for'

Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates on how he feels after today's draw: "Very happy. We know how good Brighton are, from back to front they have quality all over the pitch. They have a fantastic young manager and play the game the right way.

"We created some dangerous attacks and they dominated for the most part but we created our chances. So we take the point."

On the red cards: "Nothing too much has been said really. We leave that down to the referee, that is his call and what he is paid for. So yeah nothing much to say on it.

"It is not ideal [to be without Nuno Espirito Santo for the next game] but we just have to make sure that we perform on the pitch. We will have the same sort of week but we won't have him shouting on the touchline [next game]."

On the first half: "It was really good. We caught them by surprise - we had a game plan to get down the sides and Callum did well to win the penalty. But with good teams if you don't stop them building back into it and gaining composure or stop their home crowd getting up then it can quickly be two.

"Half-time came at a good time, we re-grouped and we just wanted to show the fight and resilience that we have done all season."

On missing out on a winner: "I'm just thinking about my job at the back of the pitch and if the lads can put the chances away at the other end then great. We had a chance right at the end, think it was offside anyway but I thought we might have nicked it."
