Brentford 2–0 Nottingham Forest · Premier League
No fireworks, no fuss — just a tidy, ruthless afternoon’s work. Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2–0 with the kind of disciplined home display that quietly piles up points while the glamour clubs grab the headlines.
Brentford do Brentford things
This is a side that knows exactly what it is: organised, physical, dangerous on set pieces, and a genuine nuisance for anyone who turns up expecting an easy afternoon. Two goals, a clean sheet, game managed. If you’re a neutral it won’t headline your highlights reel; if you’re a Brentford fan it’s precisely the recipe you want.
Forest never got going
Forest, for their part, will feel this one slipped away without them ever landing a proper blow. They struggled to break Brentford’s shape and rarely troubled the keeper — the sort of flat away day that happens, but can’t become a habit.
Our take: Brentford keep doing the unglamorous things brilliantly. Underestimate them at your peril — plenty already have.
