Nottingham Forest vs Brentford
Forest are penned back inside their own half now, with Brentford working it side to side and patiently looking for an opening.

Mbeumo's corner is flicked on dangerously, but there are no Brentford players gambling at the far post and Mangala can clear!

Maupay gets a stroke of luck as his loose touch bounces off Kouyate and comes back to him, but he;s crowded out on the left side of the box. Mbeumo then crosses low from the right, and it deflects just wide of the near post!

Brentford have seven minutes plus added time to find a winner. They were in a great position following Niakhate's red card and Norgaard's opener, but Dominguez's first Premier League goal looks like salvaging a point for Forest.

That's a bold change from Cooper, with Forest seemingly still operating with a front three of Gibbs-White, Wood and Origi despite being a man down. Mangala and Kouyate are anchoring the hosts' midfield.

Cooper will make two further substitutions. Dominguez is unable to continue, so Origi comes on.

Dominguez looks to have pulled something as he stretched to challenge Mbeumo on the Brentford right. The Forest goalscorer is still down on the turf and he looks to be in some discomfort.

Heroic block from Toffolo, who makes a massive block to prevent Maupay volleying Ghoddos' deep cross home. The resulting corner is cleared as far as Onyeka, but he miscues with his long-range effort.
