Nottingham Forest reduced to 10-men after rarely-seen error with Gibbs-White so angry he’s booked AFTER being subbed

Published on March 29, 2025 at 09:53 PM

NOTTINGHAM FOREST found themselves playing with a man down during their FA Cup clash with Brighton after an unusual error.

Forest punched their ticket to Wembley after making it to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 34 years by beating the Seagulls 4-3 on penalties following a goalless draw.

However, Nottingham found themselves in a strange situation during the second half of extra-time, just two minutes before the two teams went to a penalty shootout at the Amex Stadium.

The visitors' manager Nuno Espirito Santo decided to introduce Morato into the fold.

The centre-back was set to replace Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White.

However, referee Peter Bankes halted the switch despite Gibbs-White exiting the pitch.

That left many by surprise as even the BBC commentary team were left wondering what was going on.

And Gibbs-White apparently got so frustrated that he was booked as he made his way to the Tricky Trees' bench.

But it turns out Morato wasn't allowed in because he still had jewellery around his neck when he was meant to come on.

That left Forest playing with 10 men against a very tough Brighton side.

However, that only lasted for one phase of play as the Brazilian was allowed to come on once play stopped.

And that didn't harm Nottingham's chances as Ryan Yates sealed their place at Wembley with the final penalty of the shootout.

But Nuno's men have a lot to thank goalkeeper Matz Sels for as he proved to be the hero once more as his two saves helped his team win their third FA Cup shootout of the season.
