Nottingham Forest humiliate Brighton
Lamptey played the full length this afternoon as a left-back in the Seagulls’ humiliating defeat to in-form Nottingham Forest.
He managed to succeed at only one tackle, blocked one shot, and had two ball clearances to his name.
The Tricky Trees were much trickier on the day as they easily cruised to a 7-0 victory at home with an own goal, penalty, and a Chris Wood hat-trick adding up to the numbers.
