In a high-drama Premier League matchup, Brighton's manager Fabian Hurzeler and Nottingham Forest's boss Nuno Espírito Santo were ejected late in their 2-2 draw. The dismissals came after Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White received his second yellow card for a reckless tackle on Brighton's Joao Pedro in the 83rd minute at Amex Stadium.

The incident escalated tensions on the sidelines, resulting in both managers receiving red cards from referee Robert Jones. The Premier League described the managers' actions as 'unacceptable technical area behaviour.'

The match itself was a spectacle, with Chris Wood scoring an early penalty for Forest, followed by Brighton's Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck giving their team a lead before halftime. Forest's Ramon Sosa equalized in the 70th minute. Later, Manchester City hosts Arsenal in the standout match of the fifth round.
