Kristoffer Ajer continued in the Premier League as in the World Cup, as the safety himself in central defence. Against Aston Vila, there was also a goal in the Brentford shirt. It has still been a tough period for the London club, the last three games have been without a win. On Saturday, Nottingham Forest visited the Brentford Community Stadium, where defender Ajer and Brentford closed the goal.
After half an hour, the first goal came for Brentford. It was Forest player Nikola Milenkovic who allowed himself to be pressured into sending the ball into his own net and ensured a 1-0 lead for the home side. After that, Forest managed to play their way to several good chances, but the necessary sharpness was lacking for the crisis-stricken team.
