Nottingham Forest only had themselves to blame as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at Brentford, with the hosts having come from behind to win.
In a first half lacking in notable action, chances were few and far between at either end. But the Reds made the most of one right on the stroke of the interval to take the lead.
They had almost created a decent opening with just a few minutes played, but Serge Aurier’s dangerous ball across goal just evaded Brennan Johnson. It took until the 40th minute for the visitors to forge their next real opening, with Taiwo Awoniyi unable to get a header on target from Johnson’s cross.
