Igor Thiago on Target as Brentford End Barren Run by Beating Hapless Forest
Forest stayed in the bottom three after a 12-shot effort produced only two on target and a second-half Thiago finish sealed Brentford's win.
- Brentford defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Gtech Stadium, ending a four-match winless run in the venue's 100th Premier League fixture. An own goal from Nikola Milenkovic and a strike from Igor Thiago secured the victory.
- Manager Oliver Glasner's Nottingham Forest remains in the bottom three despite an encouraging display, hampered by wayward finishing that yielded only two shots on target from 12 attempts.
- Substitute Ryan Yates missed a key equalizer 10 minutes into the second half, planting his header over the bar. Earlier, Liam Delap fired over the crossbar after turning Sepp in the penalty area.
- Brentford took the lead after Dango Ouattara's cross deflected off Milenkovic, looping over goalkeeper Matz Sels. The unusual goal confused veteran stadium announcer Peter Gilham, who exclaimed: "A goal for Brentford."
- Nottingham Forest continues to struggle offensively, as their scattergun approach has yielded only six league goals this season. The team faces ongoing challenges in establishing consistent attacking form.
