Rare goals from Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi eased Nottingham Forest's relegation fears in a surprise 2-0 win at Brentford. They were vital goals for Forest as they restored their five-point cushion over 18th-placed West Ham. They also inflicted only Brentford's second home defeat of the season, denting their unlikely bid for a place in Europe. Forest made the game safe 11 minutes from the end when Awoniyi chased Gibbs-White's ball up the line and outmuscled Van Den Berg. NOTTM FOREST: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Sangare, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi (Morato 87), Gibbs-White, Dominguez (Hutchinson 61), Igor Jesus (Awoniyi 68).
