Brighton goalscorer Danny Welbeck says he hopes his team can learn a lesson from their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The Seagulls fought back from 1-0 down after Chris Wood scored an early penalty, with Jack Hinshelwood and Welbeck putting the hosts in the driving seat before half-time.
Welbeck scored a clever free-kick, bending his effort around the wall and into the far corner.
But Ramon Sosa pulled one back for Forest before chaos ensued in the closing stages.
Morgan Gibbs-White was sent off for a challenge on Joao Pedro, with both Nuno Espirito Santo and Fabian Hurzeler also being dismissed for their reactions.
It was an eventful afternoon on the South Coast and Welbeck reflected on the game with Sky Sports afterwards.

He said: “Considering the position we were in today, 2-1 up, the feeling is disappointment. It is really hard to take.
“It is a harsh lesson for us but it is one we have to analyse and work through on the training pitch and make sure if we are in this position again it doesn’t happen again.
“The game has ended in a draw again today when we really should have closed it out so it is really frustrating. A lot of disappointment in the dressing room and in the whole club, fans included.
“I’ve had a couple of close ones recently and it fell nicely for me. It was in a spot where I fancied my chance and it was a good free kick, one that I am happy with. We move on to the next one now.
“We have got a great culture in the dressing room where everyone wants to improve and elevate the levels.
“We can take the positivity of being unbeaten but take the disappointment of today and last week to fuel us to get better.
“There are moments where we have been naive but we can look back on that and improve.”
