Gibbs-White was shown a second yellow card by referee Rob Jones after a challenge on forward Joao Pedro.
“I’m not able to judge at the moment,” Nottingham Forest assistant Rui Pedro Silva said. “The referee had a good view. Anthony [Taylor] was close to the situation. In this moment it was a very good game.
“It was a fair and good tackle. Not justifying a second yellow card. I think the referees took their time. It’s not bad if they take their time. Anthony had a point of view. I didn’t hear nothing from the mouth of Nuno that justified a red card.”
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was handed an £8,000 fine after also being sent-off in the same match.
“The tackle on Joao [Pedro] looked like it wasn’t a great tackle. We were upset with it,” confirmed Brighton coach Andrew Crofts at the time. “The reaction is to see what the referee does.
“After that, I didn’t see it too much because I was communicating with a player. The next thing I saw was the red cards to the managers and obviously the player. Joao took a nasty hit. Hopefully he’s OK.
“We are bitterly disappointed not to get three points. At the same time you have to finish the game well and get over the line. We created enough chances to definitely win the game. They had very little. That’s maybe why we’re frustrated and maybe tempers were frayed because of that.
“Hopefully we can learn a lot from the last two games at home. But we’re still unbeaten so there’s a lot to be positive about.”
