Brentford vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League score and ...

30 mins: Brentford have turned up the tempo and are winning repeated corners. Forest have, so far, been up to the task of keeping them at bay.

Crossbar! The latest set piece is whipped over to the back post where Ivan Toney pulls the ball back into the middle. Keane Lewis-Potter drills a shot at goal, hits the underside of the bar and Forest get lucky as the ball bounces back into play.

27 mins: The Bees win themselves a corner that gets lifted into the box. Keane Lewis-Potter glances the ball on but it drops to Chris Wood who belts it as far down the pitch as he can.

24 mins: There’s a buzz around the stadium again. The Brentford fans believe they can go on and win this game and much of that comes down to Ivan Toney being the man to score.

Forest are playing nicely though, this is turning into a fine match.

19 mins: Who else?!

Ivan Toney steps up to take the free kick. He drills is low around the wall and curls the ball into the near bottom corner. Brentford are level and Toney has his goal after eight months on the sidelines.

18 mins: Mikkel Damsgaard weaves in from the right after a nice one-two and gets pulled down just outside the box by Orel Mangala.

This is a big chance for Brentford.

15 mins: Block!

Brentford are forced to defend again after Chris Wood wins the ball deep in their half. He sends it across to Ryan Yates who shoots and sees his shot deflected into the path of Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Hudson-Odoi checks to the left, rolls the ball back onto his right foot then shoots but a Brentford shirt gets in the way and the hosts manage to scoop the ball clear.

12 mins: The Bees are starting to settle. They’re seeing more of the ball despite a high and intense press from Forest. Thomas Frank is issuing updated orders from the sidelines as his side look to build out from the back.

9 mins: Ryan Yates gets a shot away for Forest but pulls it wide of the far post. The visitors are certainly imposing themselves on this match now.

Brentford look slightly off the pace.

6 mins: That’s the worst possible start for Brentford. Forest have been brilliantly in the first 15 minutes of matches and are level with Spurs in scoring seven goals during this time in league games.

The Bees need to regroup now and come again.

3 mins: Bang!

Forest take an early lead with a fantastic from Danilo. Brentford fail to properly clear their lines and can only nod the ball to Danilo on the edge of the box.

He controls it before smoking a volley into the bck of the net!
