Brentford beat Nottm Forest 2-0 behind Kelleher clean sheet

Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium. An own goal by Nikola Milenkovic in the 30th minute gave the home side the lead, and Igor Thiago sealed it in the 76th.

Milenkovic turned the ball into his own net to make it 1-0 Brentford. That score held until late. Then Brentford broke fast. Jaidon Anthony fed Thiago, who finished a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the high centre of the goal. It made 2-0.

Caoimhín Kelleher was the player of the game with a Chirp Rating of 7.5. He made one save and kept a clean sheet. Sepp van den Berg led Brentford with 44 accurate passes and 16 defensive interventions. Liam Delap took three shots for Forest, who never found a way through. Forest fall to 1-3-4, while Brentford move to 2-5-1.

Chirp's Sim gave Brentford a 40% chance before the game, so this was a result the model saw as plausible.
