Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday as the hosts staged a recovery despite having Moussa Niakhate sent off and then conceding a goal in the space of two minutes.
After a goalless first half, Forest were dealt a double blow when Niakhate was shown a second yellow for hacking down Yoane Wissa in the 56th minute, before Christian Nørgaard headed home from the resultant free kick to open the scoring in the 58th.

Forest responded well to going behind and were back on level terms seven minutes later through Nicolas Dominguez, who connected with substitute Harry Toffolo‘s cross to send a header looping over the goalkeeper.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank made several attacking changes as his side desperately sought a winner to avoid a fifth straight league match without victory, bringing on Neal Maupay, Saman Ghoddos and Michael Olakigbe, but Forest held on to grab a share of the points.
