After Arsenal’s victory against Crystal Palace (5-0) earlier in the afternoon, Brentford hosted Nottingham Forest as part of the 21st day of the Premier League. Unable to win a single match since the beginning of December, the Bees finally intended to get back to 3 points to give themselves some air in the standings. Undefeated at the start of the year, the Reds wanted to confirm their improvement. From the outset, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men launched the hostilities thanks to a superb sequence from Danilo (0-1, 3rd). A short-lived joy since Ivan Toney, back after his 8-month suspension for a sports betting affair, equalized in favor of his team shortly after the first quarter of an hour (1-1, 19th).
Returning from the locker room, Brentford returned with better intentions than their opponent. Receiving a cross from Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee gave the locals the lead shortly before the hour mark (2-1, 59th). If Chris Wood responded a few minutes later (2-2, 65th), the London club once again gained the upper hand over its opponent following the goal of Frenchman Neal Maupay (3-2, 70th). As best they could, the visitors pushed to equalize but Thomas Frank’s men held on until the final whistle. With this favorable result, Brentford is 6 units ahead of the red zone (14th) and at the same time doubles Nottingham Forest, demoted to 16th place.
