Nottingham Forest came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Brentford, thanks to Filip Krovinovic's equaliser.
The Bees have been one of the Championship's form teams this season, so Chris Hughton's men can be rightly pleased after rescuing a game that could easily have been lost.
Here's how Leigh Curtis rated the Reds players...
Brice Samba: Beaten by a cool penalty from Ivan Toney who scored his 28th goal of the season, aside from that his reflexes were not tested too much and when he was involved it was mostly routine saves. The woodwork saved him from conceding a second. 6
Cyrus Christie: Put a couple of crosses into the box, one of which was an absolute peach in the second half, and can see his frustration when nobody gets on the end of them. Close to a winner too. Brilliant block at the end. 7
Tobias Figueiredo: Brentford rarely cut Forest open down the middle and the Portuguese defender produced a couple of crunching challenges. A solid game alongside Scott McKenna. 6
Scott McKenna: Was faced with Toney, who is the deadliest striker in the division. Was a fascinating battle between the pair and one which the Scotsman clearly relished. 6
Gaetan Bong: Got involved in a wrestling match inside the penalty area when he didn’t need to and got punished. But made amends with a terrific cross which led to the equaliser. 5
James Garner: A driving force from midfield in the opening stages as he struck over the bar from distance and the on-loan Manchester United midfielder was crisp in possession. 8
Cafu: Played in a holding midfield role which he is far more comfortable in than a 10. Played a key role in the equaliser when he won possession in midfield and drove forward. 6
Alex Mighten: Forest’s brightest attacking spark. Looked like it meant a lot to be him to be given the shirt and when he started running at the Bees defence, he had them panicking. 7
Filip Krovinovic: Neat and tidy should be his middle names but finally grabbed his first goal for the club by just holding his position when Bong’s cross came into the box. Took it well too. 6
Sammy Ameobi: Drifted in and out of the game. The effort was there but hard to recall one moment when he made a telling impact in the final third. 4
Lewis Grabban: Had a great chance before half-time when he headed over the bar when he should have at least hit the target. Carried on ploughing away and made a nuisance of himself in the build-up to Krovinovic’s goal. 5
Subs
Yuri Ribeiro (Bong 64): Produced a couple of crunching challenges and defended well when he came on after the equaliser. 5
Glenn Murray (Grabban 80): Won a couple of flick-ons, but chances did not come his way in the time he was on the pitch. 5
