Nottingham Forest edged off the bottom of the Premier League by holding out for a 0-0 draw at Brighton as Wilfried Zaha gave Crystal Palace a 2-1 win over Wolves on Tuesday.
Forest still have only one win on their return to the top flight for the first time in 23 years, but were grateful to escape the Amex with a point after Brighton dominated throughout.
The Seagulls are still waiting for their first win under new boss Roberto de Zerbi and it was a familiar failing that cost Brighton as they missed a series of chances to claim the three points.
Leandro Trossard hit the bar in the first half, while Dean Henderson twice denied the Belgian international and made a fine late save from Pascal Gross.
Forest failed to muster a single shot on target but just a second clean sheet of the season was enough to lift Steve Cooper’s men a point above Leicester at the foot of the table.

Wolves remain just one point above the bottom three after blowing the lead at Selhurst Park.
Adama Traore headed in Hugo Bueno’s cross for just Wolves’ fifth league goal in 11 games this season just after the half hour mark.
It was his first Premier League goal since January, with the flyer spending the latter half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Barcelona. And remarkably, it was the first headed goal of his entire career.
In all three of Palace’s wins this season they have come from behind and the Eagles soared in the second half once Eberechi Eze nodded in at the back post from Michael Olise’s cross.
Zaha completed the comeback when he coolly collected Odsonne Edouard’s pass to slot past Jose Sa 20 minutes from time.
Victory lifts Patrick Vieira’s men up to 10th.
