The game picked up steam early in the second half after a dull first half when Moussa Niakhate was sent off for standing on Yoane Wissa's heel. Christian Norgaard, the captain of Brentford, headed in Mathias Jensen's throw from the next free kick to give his team the lead. It was his first goal of the year. The advantage was short-lived, nevertheless, as Argentina international Dominguez, who joined Forest from Bologna in September, delivered a superb diving header that looped over the custodian of the opposing team, Mark Flekken.
A win would have put either team in 10th position, but on a soggy day in Nottingham, neither team could score again. Neal Maupay, an Everton loanee who came on as a substitute for Brentford, missed a clear opportunity to score the game-winning goal. The Bees have now gone five Premier League games without a victory since a 3-0 victory against Fulham in the season's second game, thanks to the draw.
