Match Overview: The Ola Aina inspiration
The match saw Forest break the deadlock in the first half when Neco Williams, assisted by Callum Hudson-Odoi, sent a pass towards Chris Wood. Although Wood missed his shot, the ball rolled through his legs to Aina, who calmly slotted it into the bottom corner of the net, giving Forest a crucial early lead.
Premier League pundit Don Hutchison praised the sequence, noting, "Good move, Hudson-Odoi started the move and then he slotted Neco Williams the ball. Chris Wood was trying to finish it off, but it went through his legs - then a very composed finish from the full back" .

Aina's goal proved to be decisive, as it was the only thing separating the two teams at halftime. The match was competitive, with Brentford struggling defensively; they have now conceded 18 first-half goals in 17 games this season, second only to Southampton's 20.
Shortly after the second half began, Nottingham Forest doubled their lead. Keane Lewis-Potter failed to control a long pass, allowing Anthony Elanga to capitalise and score with a low shot into the far corner.

This quick goal provided a psychological boost for Forest as they aimed for their third consecutive win following victories over Manchester United and Aston Villa.
From that point onward, Nottingham Forest focused on defending their lead against a Brentford side that dominated possession but struggled to penetrate their defence.

Despite Brentford's pressure around Forest's area, they were unable to break through.
With this win, Nottingham Forest continue to demonstrate their strong form in the Premier League, with Aina playing a pivotal role in their success.
