Forest with one last attack. Dominguez and Elanga link up down the right, the former fashions a cross to the edge of the box where Yates brings it down and swings a right foot at it but it’s harmlessly over the bar with Baleba closing him down.

Webster is down for a while and receiving treatment. Lewis Dunk is warming up as a replacement if needed in the Brighton defence.

Webster might have to try and run it off though because Brighton have used all three of their substitute windows, so they won’t be able to bring Dunk on until the start of extra-time. This delay will add to the eight minutes of injury-time anyway

Dominguez with a nice little ball to Elanga at the byline, he cuts it back and Brighton scramble away. Ball back into the box but a lunging Elanga can’t connect.

Decent passage of play for Forest but hard to see a goal coming before extra-time.

Anderson drives forward – great little run and he’s tripped by a lunging Gomez. Free-kick out towards the left wing for Gibbs-White to curl into the box.

He does, it’s a great ball and Murillo is in space at the back post but he gets a poor contact, shanks his shot and it bounces harmlessly into Verbruggen’s gloves.

Forest’s defence really is rock solid. Milenkovic and Murillo are a superb centre-back pairing. They crowd out Pedro as this game ticks every closer to the extra 30 minutes.

We’ll have eight minutes of additional time.

Yellow card for Dominguez for dissent as he gestures at the referee after disagreeing with a decision. Needless.

Brighton 0-0 Nottingham Forest, 85 mins

Neither side keen to commit men forward with extra-time starting to loom.

But Brighton’s subs combine and Gruda pokes the ball back across from the byline but Milenkovic shows his strength to take control and hack the ball clear.

This match looks to be heading inexorably towards extra time right now. Maybe that will commentator’s curse thing… We can but hope.

Things have got cagey again after the drama of the previous 15 minutes.

Another Brighton sub as Diego Gomez comes on for Ayari in midfield.

Elanga, who has looked lively since coming on, bursts down the left and fizzes a low ball across the face of goal. Gibbs-White is sliding in at the back post but it’s just a little too far in front of him.

He clatters into the post after lunging for it. Ouch! Looks like it hurt but he’s up and should be able to run off the knock
