Jesus upstaged his fellow Brazilian striker Igor Thiago with just his second Premier League goal of the season, before substitute Awoniyi broke his duck for the campaign. 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. Then, in seven minutes of first-half stoppage time, Van Den Berg’s header from Michael Kayode’s long throw flew inches wide. 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.
