Nottingham Forest scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a point against Brentford at the City Ground.

Morgan Gibbs-White opened the scoring with a delightful solo effort when he received the ball on the edge of the box, shrugged off a few defenders and got a shot away that was helped on its way by a heavy deflection.

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo converted a controversial penalty and Yoane Wissa chipped goalkeeper Dean Henderson to put Brentford on the brink of their first away win of the season.

But a scramble in the box in the 96th minute eventually saw the ball cross the line, the final touch coming off Brentford defender Mathias Jorgensen.
