Brentford made it two Championship defeats on the spin as they were edged out by Nottingham Forest in a seven-goal thirller.

John Egan had given the Bees the lead with just over five minutes of the first half remaining.

However, the Brentford defence had a nightmare 10 minutes, surrounding half-time as they shipped three goals.

Andreas Bouchalakis scored fine finishes either side of the break with Daryl Murphy tapping in in between to have given Forest the advantage at the break.

Andreas Bjelland did give Brentford hope in the closing stages before Kieran Dowell eventually put the game beyond reach.

There was time for Neal Maupay to pull a goal back before the end but it wasn't enough to rescue a point.
