It was another impressive victory for the Reds, this time inflicting Brentford's first defeat at the GTech Community Stadium this season, and keeping a clean sheet to boot. Nuno elected to stiffen up the defence by moving to a back three, and although Forest arguably took a little while to warm up, the result was never in doubt once Ola Aina put the visitors in front, with Anthony Elanga taking advantage of mistake to double the lead in the second half.
