Super Eagles defender Ola Aina was on target as Nottingham Forest inflicted a first home defeat of the season on Brentford. Ola Aina and Anthony Elanga scored the two goals helped Forest to their third consecutive victory.
The result also lifts Nuno Espirito Santo’s side up to third in the table, a point above fourth-placed Arsenal. Having withstood some early pressure from the hosts, Nottingham Forest opened the scoring towards the end of the first period.
Ola Aina opened the scoring when Neco Williams got down the left and his low cross was placed into the bottom left corner. The visitors added to their tally shortly after the break when Elanga capitalised on a mistake from Keane Lewis-Potter. The former Manchester United player drove into the penalty area before scoring the goal.
