Match report
Brentford came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest 2-1, turning the match after the break with Igor Thiago's equaliser and then taking advantage of a Forest own goal at the other end. Nottingham Forest led at half-time after Nikola Milenković turned the ball into his own net in the 30th minute.
Forest were ahead at the interval after Milenković's own goal put them in front, and they took a 1-0 lead into half-time.
Brentford levelled in the 76th minute when Igor Thiago, set up by Jaidon Anthony, scored after Anthony had come on in the 72nd minute. That followed a double change for Brentford in the 62nd minute, with Mikkel Damsgaard and Aaron Hickey introduced, while Forest had already made two changes at half-time and two more in the 65th minute as they tried to protect the lead. Brentford then saw out the closing stages after Callum Wilson came on in the 84th minute.
Forest had 58% of the possession and 471 passes to Brentford's 337. They also had the edge in shots, 15 to 7, corners, 4 to 3, and xG, 0.87 to 0.48. Brentford kept their one shot on target from one late chance, while Forest managed only one themselves and finished with 17 fouls to Brentford's 6.
Nikola Milenković was booked in the 36th minute, Daniel Muñoz in the 64th, Michael Kayode in the 68th and James McAtee in the 83rd.
