In the second half Rodri was sent off but Nottingham were still unable to open the scoring.

Rodri was given his marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor for pushing Morgan Gibbs-White to the ground a few moments after the Nottingham Forest midfielder had tackled him. Gibbs-White went to ground quite theatrically after being shoved in the throat.
