"After Kevin Schade teed up Igor Jesus to fire wide inside the opening two minutes, Forest's Igor Jesus put his side ahead against the run of play, perfectly controlling Ola Aina's looping cross at the near post before flashing across goal from a tight angle. Brentford spurned several chances to respond, the best of which fell to Dango Ouattara, who failed to beat Matz Sels from Mathias Jensen's clever set-up."
"Sepp van den Berg saw a header fly narrowly wide of the post before the break, while Thiago fired over the bar in the second half as Brentford continued to pile on the pressure. But the Bees were made to pay for their own profligacy, as Forest sealed an unlikely win late on as substitute Taiwo Awoniyi landed the final blow with a composed finish past Caoimhin Kelleher on the counter-attack."
"Data Debrief: Not-so-sweet outing for the Bees Despite enjoying a positive season that has them in the upper reaches of the Premier League table, Sunday was not Brentford's finest outing. The Bees, who have now lost their last two games, were handed their first Premier League loss at the Gtech Community Stadium in eight matches (W5 D2). Keith Andrews' side have also failed to score in five of their last six defeats at home in the league,"
Nottingham Forest shocked Brentford with a 2-0 victory at the Gtech Community Stadium, moving five points clear of the relegation zone. Igor Jesus scored an early opener after controlling Ola Aina's looping cross and finishing from a tight angle. Brentford created several chances but failed to convert, with Dango Ouattara denied by Matz Sels and other opportunities going narrowly wide or over. Sepp van den Berg and Thiago came close for the hosts. Substitute Taiwo Awoniyi sealed Forest's win with a composed counter-attack finish. Sean Dyche has now won five of seven league meetings with Brentford.
