Brentford defeated Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Brentford Community Stadium in Ivan Toney’s 1st match since being banned from football for gambling for the past 9 months.
The Bees ended a 5-game losing EPL run, as they returned from a goal down to win against Nottingham and made Ivan Toney’s return a happy event as he scored this 1st goal in the match from a freekick in the 19th minute to tie the result. Danilo gave the away side the lead in the match only after 3 minutes with a phenomenal shot outside the box.
