The most curious thing..
There was no need for any of that - should have been an easy win.

This with bells on. You can see what it means to the whole squad and management to get that win with everything else going on around it, injuries, suspensions, red cards etc.
We deserved that - no thanks to Dunk's hissy fit, for which we will most likely pay.
Other than that, a better performance than I expected, given our walking wounded, and a long-awaited victory at Forest.
Still, we really are down to bare bones, now, which doesn't bode well.

Those celebrations from De Zerbi, staff and team were immense. Proper passion there...

Straight red after he called the referee a “cheating ****” having already been booked seconds earlier

That was a great win. Hope Fati and Lamptey aren’t too injured.
The less said about that ref the better. Terrible game management.

He'll be available for Burnley. If it was two yellows he'll miss Chelsea, if it was a straight red then he'll miss Brentford as well (assuming he was sent off for insulting, offensive or abusive language towards the ref). No chance he misses 3 games (3 game bans are for reds shown for serious foul play or violent conduct neither cover anything Dunk did).

Weird that so many of you were so stressed after the red. I genuinely felt more comfortable as time went on as it became more and more obvious that Forest couldn't and wouldn't score even if we played for a week.

Ref absolutely ballsed up calming the situation. In fact he just added fuel to the fire.
Yes Dunk was stupid doing what he did - but a better ref would have told him "get away from me NOW or you're off".
I just think English refs are attention seeking narcissists and like to make the game all about them - which he did - and that he would have loved the drama of Forest going on to win.
The truth hurts The poor refs.
Me too, just the second halfOnly managed to tune in on 75 minutes... Can't say it was a pleasure!
