Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2–0 after Nikola Milenkovic opened the scoring in the 30th minute and Igor Thiago added the second after 76 minutes. Their goals came in different halves rather than as part of one short scoring rush.

The gap remained at one until roughly the final quarter-hour. Thiago’s goal consequently supplied insurance after a long period in which one Forest reply would have restored parity. Brentford then completed the match without conceding, preserving the advantage established before the break.
