An own goal from Brentford defender Mathias Jorgensen in the sixth minute of stoppage time gave Nottingham Forest a share of the spoils in a 2-2 Premier League draw at the City Ground on Saturday.

Brentford goalkeeper David Raya punched away a cross from the right and Forest‘s Morgan Gibbs-White had his effort blocked before the ball ricocheted off Jorgensen and over the line, with the goal given after a VAR check for offside.

Despite earning a crucial point, Forest remain rooted to the bottom of the table on 10 points from 14 games while Brentford move up to 10th with 16 points.

The hosts deservedly took the lead in the 20th minute when Gibbs-White squeezed past three Brentford defenders and curled home an effort from the edge of the box for his first Forest goal.

Brentford were awarded a spot kick following a lengthy VAR check in the closing minutes of the first half when Yoanne Wissa went down after taking the ball around goalkeeper Dean Henderson, with Bryan Mbeumo coolly converting to level the score.

The visitors went ahead with 15 minutes remaining when Mathias Jensen sent a lofted through ball to Wissa and the forward lobbed Henderson with a cool finish, before Forest escaped with a point in the closing seconds

POSSIBLE PENALTY! Mbeumo launches it over to Wissa who is one-on-one with Henderson. He looks to go around the goalkeeper and is tripped by his outstretched glove. There is an ongoing VAR check with the referee now checking the monitor.

Lewis-Potter crosses from the left but he puts too much power on it. The ball goes over the head of everybody with the opportunity wasted.

Mee and Wissa play a one-two before the defenders plays it long down the wing looking for Mbeumo. However, the Englishman puts too much power on it and it races away for a throw-in.

Gibbs-White looks to flick the ball onto Dennis but the former Watford man is in an offside position and runs past it. Gibbs-White throws his arms up in the air in frustration, possibly thinking that the striker should have moved back onside.

Lucky or skilful from Aurier? He slips looking to clear the ball away and is on the floor. With Henry putting him under pressure, he flicks his foot in the air, clearing it away.

A strong challenge from Yates. He slides in late on Jensen and receives a yellow card.
