Just 12 seconds later, Dunk was given his marching orders for using personally abusive language towards Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>A straight red for dissent results in a two-match ban and unless Brighton launch an appeal, Dunk will miss the games against Chelsea and Brentford.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi refused to comment on Taylor\u2019s performance after he was given a formal warning by the FA after comments earlier this month, when the Italian stated that he does not like \u201880 per cent\u2019 of England\u2019s referees.<\/p>\n<p>After Brighton held on for a first league win since September, he confirmed he would not fine his captain.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/21\/78257745-0-image-m-81_1701035437874.jpg\" height=\"417\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper was furious with Brighton penalty in 3-2 defeat<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t like rules. I am not a policeman, I am a coach,\u2019 said De Zerbi.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Maybe he made a mistake but we have to accept the referee\u2019s decision. I always accept the referee\u2019s decision.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper, who is facing the sack unless he picks up a victory in Forest\u2019s forthcoming fixtures, admitted that on the back of the campaign he has considered his own actions but he was still furious at Taylor\u2019s decision to give Brighton a penalty for an apparent foul by Chris Wood on Joao Pedro.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Particularly over the international break, I\u2019ve really tried to think about how I can be in the camp of supporting referees and helping the process because it\u2019s clearly having a negative impact on our game,\u2019 said Cooper, whose father Keith officiated in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m trying to say to myself, \u201cLet\u2019s not jump on the bandwagon. Let\u2019s try to be rational with our comments\u201d, but then we see that from Anthony (Taylor) who\u2019s one of the top ones (referees) and it\u2019s hard to hold back. To think he\u2019s given that penalty and then missed the one that\u2019s got overturned and that\u2019s caused all the animosity in the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There must be such a lack of confidence when you see someone like Anthony perform like that. What are the younger, less experienced guys going to be like? I will help and I\u2019ll be on the phone to Howard (Webb).<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We will try to help but we have to stand up for our club as well because we can\u2019t carry on with decisions like that,\u2019 Cooper added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/21\/78231421-0-Forest_lost_3_2_for_the_second_game_in_a_row_with_Brighton_the_l-a-91_1701035886380.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Forest lost 3-2 for the second game in a row &#8211; with Brighton the latest to come out on top\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>NOTTINGHAM FOREST (4-1-4-1):<\/span>\u00a0Vlachodimos 6; Aina 6 (Williams 90min), Niakhate 5, Murillo 5, Toffolo 6; Mangala 5; Gibbs-White 7, Danilo 5 (Hudson-Odoi 62, 6), Dominguez 6 (Yates 69, 6), Elanga 6; Wood 5 (Origi 63, 6).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Scorers<\/span>: Elanga 3, Gibbs-White 76 (pen).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Toffolo, Niakhate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager<\/span>: Steve Cooper 6.<\/p>\n<p><span>BRIGHTON (4-2-3-1)<\/span>: Verbruggen 7; Veltman 7, Van Hecke 7, Dunk 5, Lamptey 5 (Hinshelwood 35, 6); Gross 7, Gilmour 6 (Baleba 77); Adingra 6, Lallana 6 (Buonanotte 46, 6), Fati 5 (Pedro 21, 8); Ferguson 7 (Moder 77).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Scorers<\/span>: Ferguson 26, Pedro 45+4, 58 (pen).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Adingra, Dunk, Ferguson, Verbruggen, Buonanotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Sent off<\/span>: Dunk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager<\/span>: Roberto De Zerbi 7.<\/p>\n<p><span>Referee<\/span>: Anthony Taylor 6.
