Brentford boss Thomas Frank delivers honest admission after 'difficult' Nottingham Forest comeback

Brentford boss Thomas Frank says Nottingham Forest made it "difficult" for his side to come away with a win at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Forest were not able to hold on to their advantage after Danilo scored the opening goal on the brink of half-time. The Brazilian, who turned 22 today, was later forced off for picking up an injury.

Toney netted the equaliser with just under 10 minutes to go, giving the home side a glimpse of hope. When Forest looked settled to come away with a crucial point, substitute Josh Dasilva netted the winner in stoppage time.

Despite the result, the Bees' boss was not pleased with his side's display. "It's not the best performance of the season, definitely not," Frank told BBC MOTD.

"The last two performances have not been in our top 5 or top 10 this season but they gave us two wins. Now we get two wins and the feeling is so much better.

"Nottingham Forest did a good job to make it difficult for us. They scored with their one chance and made it even more difficult because they are fighting relegation.

"These margins were not going our way with the first goal then we got it with Ivan Toney. Big praise to him as he's had a brilliant season. 20 goals is remarkable. How many would he score at a top six club? I'm very pleased that he is a Brentford player!"
