This could get chalked off. There's tussling in the box but Dan Ndoye is standing right in front of Sam Johnstone, impeding his view, in an offside position.
I can't see this standing to be honest.
Igor Jesus (38 mins)
Breakthrough!
The corner swings in and Igor Jesus nods it down into the back of the net.
Good header.

VAR had a look at a possible penalty for Nottingham Forest after a bit of tussling in the box but nothing in it.
Ollie Watkins
Back on the scoresheet!
Pau Torres, who earlier scored an own goal, is heavily involved in the build-up before Ian Maatsen sends a low cross into the Brighton box.
There's an almighty scramble but Ollie Watkins is able to touch it home for his first goal since 28 September.
Villa are back in this.

Brighton have benefitted from more own goals than any other team in the Premier League since 2022-23 (12).
Brighton 2-0 Aston Villa
Steph Houghton
Former Manchester City and England captain on BBC Radio 5 Live
Whenever you hear Hurzeler speak, you listen. At his age whenever you go into a dressing room with senior players, you need to make them listen as soon as possible, and he has.
Brighton are brave and now you can see that they are starting to click.
Brighton 2-0 Aston Villa
What a job Fabian Hurzeler is doing at Brighton.
They came into this having won three of their previous four - and they're deservedly winning against Aston Villa.
If it stays like this, Brighton will be three points behind second-placed Manchester City.
Wolves 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Nick Mashiter
BBC Sport football news reporter at Molineux
Elliot Anderson is looking to pull the strings for Nottingham Forest.
The England international is the standout player in the opening half an hour as Forest look more dangerous than Wolves.
Dan Ndoye has missed the best chance, miscuing his free header, while Wolves are yet to threaten Matz Sels.
Arsenal 1-0 Brentford
Alan Smith
Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports
Arsenal are playing some lovely football in these areas and that deserved a better finish. Ben White is really enjoying himself.

I’ll say it, Wolves look worse than THAT Derby team.
Dan - London

Burnley just can't clear the ball away from their own box and it's pinging around in there until Daichi Kamada's header goes over the bar.
Wolves 0-0 Nott'm Forest
For the third time in the Premier League this season, Wolves have failed to have a shot inside the opening 25 minutes of a match, also failing to do so against Chelsea and Manchester City.

Brighton back in Europe? It could happen...
The in-form Seagulls extend their lead after a lightning move leaves substitute Jack Hinshelwood galloping towards the Villa box.
His attempt takes a heavy deflection off Pau Torres before nestling in the back of the net.
Brighton are in control.

Conor Coady
Wrexham defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
Brighton have been outstanding this season and it is full credit to the football club and the levels that they have set themselves in the last few seasons. It is no surprise to anyone that they are where they are.
Arsenal 1-0 Brentford
Another Arsenal chance...over by Gabriel Martinelli from about 15 yards.
Five attempts, two on target, one goal and they've not even played half an hour.

Villa bereft of ideas v Brighton’s energetic high press.

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
Tzimas goes to close down Torres and gets his studs stuck in the floor and twists his knee. He was down for about five minutes checking the knee. A horrible one.
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton 1-0 Aston Villa
Brighton lead but they have been forced into an earlier than expected change.
Stefanos Tzimas has suffered an injury and Jack Hinshelwood is on in his place.
Wolves 0-0 Nott'm Forest
Wolves fail to clear a corner and Omari Hutchinson flicks it back in but Dan Ndoye barely reacts, sticking out a hopeful leg rather than attacking the ball.
Did he think he was offside? He wasn't!
Arsenal 1-0 Brentford
Alan Smith
Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports
That should lift the away team and they needed lifting, to be fair. They've been backtracking for most of this first half.
The power [of the header] from fairly close in, the slow motion doesn't do it justice.
It's one of the saves of the season [by David Raya].
