Nottingham Forest hero 'ran the show' against Brentford amid late drama

Nottingham Forest supporters were left with mixed emotions after the Reds came from behind to pick up a deserved point against Brentford, having earlier thrown away another lead at the City Ground.

The Reds took the lead through a deflected Morgan Gibbs-White strike that flew past David Raya from the edge of the area for the summer signing's first Forest goal but saw that advantage slip away before the break when Dean Henderson was adjudged to have tripped Brentford forward Yoane Wissa inside the penalty area, and Bryan Mbuemo stepped up to convert the ensuing spot-kick.

The Bees thought they'd completed their comeback 15 minutes from time when Wissa latched onto a long ball in behind before lobbing the onrushing Reds goalkeeper, only for Gibbs-White to force a second deep into added time, which may ultimately go down as an own goal.
