FA Charges Nottingham Forest Trio for Misconduct

Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, captain Morgan Gibbs-White, and Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler have been charged by the Football Association following a dramatic 2-2 draw on Sunday. Gibbs-White received a second yellow card in the 83rd minute for a tackle on Joao Pedro, prompting both managers to react angrily, resulting in their dismissals. The charges allege that Gibbs-White used abusive words towards fourth official Anthony Taylor, while both managers acted in an improper manner, with Nuno also accused of using insulting words towards a match official. The trio have until Friday, 27 September, to respond to the charges. Both Gibbs-White and Nuno will miss Nottingham Forest’s upcoming match against Fulham, while Hurzeler will be absent for Brighton's clash with Chelsea. This incident follows a history of contentious officiating decisions that have frustrated Forest's management in recent matches.
