Nottingham Forest secured a vital 2-0 victory at Brentford, with Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi scoring in either half. The win restores Forest's five-point gap above the relegation zone, easing pressure as West Ham close in. Forest's defense was solid, while Brentford's home record suffered a rare setback.

Brentford's hopes of a European push were dented, as they remain outside the top seven. The hosts lost key players Mikkel Damsgaard and Kristoffer Ajer to first-half injuries, hampering their creativity. Forest, under Sean Dyche, were efficient, capitalizing on limited chances to secure a crucial three points.

The result sees Forest maintain momentum in a tight relegation battle. Brentford must regroup, with their attack struggling to break down a disciplined low block. Up next, Forest face fixtures that could define their season, while Brentford looks to recover from this setback and climb the table.
