One player and both managers were sent off as Brighton and Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten Premier League records in an entertaining draw.
After four goals at Amex Stadium, the match ended in controversial fashion when Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White was shown a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Brighton's Joao Pedro.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was dismissed by referee Rob Jones, who then also showed a red card to Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo for their reactions to the incident.
Neither manager spoke to the media after the match, leaving it to members of the coaching staff.
"From my point of view Morgan’s tackle looked a strong one but a fair one," said Nottingham Forest assistant boss Rui Pedro Silva. "Of course the referee has a different point of view - we don't have to agree but that’s the decision he made.
"On the coaches [red cards] I didn't hear anything. It was an emotional moment. I didn’t hear anything from Nuno towards the referee. He was of course probably emotional but nothing more than his point of view."
Brighton coach Andrew Crofts said he was "not 100% sure" why Hurzeler had been sent off, adding: "Their player is going for the ball but it felt like a foul. Their bench felt differently. I didn't see too much of it but the referee sent the managers off."
