Why Thiago's goal matters for Brentford's season
Igor Thiago has been billed as a key attacking addition, and his second-half strike here proved decisive. Brentford had gone five matches without a win, so breaking that streak was crucial for momentum. The goal also relieves pressure on the forward line to deliver.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, will rue missed chances. The clean sheet for Brentford underlines a solid defensive display, and the two-goal margin could have been greater. The hosts controlled large spells and were worthy winners.
With this result, Brentford climb the table and restore confidence ahead of a busy fixture period. Forest must regroup quickly to avoid slipping further.
