Nottingham Forest claimed a convincing 2–0 win over Brentford to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to three matches.

Forest have now picked up seven points from tough fixtures against West Ham, Arsenal and Brentford. With West Ham defeating Sunderland 3–1 yesterday, the gap between the two sides had briefly narrowed to two points, making this result feel even more significant.

Goals from Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi restored Forest’s cushion, pushing the gap back to five points and easing some pressure in the relegation battle.

While the goals were crucial, it was Ibrahim Sangaré’s performance that truly stood out, particularly a moment late in the first half that highlighted just how much progress he has made at the City Ground.

What Ibrahim Sangaré Did in the 25th Minute of Forest’s Win

Sangaré’s journey at Forest hasn’t been straightforward, but an incident in the 25th minute suggested a player growing in confidence and connection with the fans.

After winning an unlikely corner, the Ivorian midfielder turned towards the supporters—some of whom had previously doubted him—and gestured for them to lift the atmosphere.

The response was immediate and loud. The crowd roared back, creating a powerful moment of unity and showing genuine appreciation for Sangaré at last.

The confidence to demand noise from the stands was telling. It hinted at a player who now feels valued and settled on Trentside, fully believing in his role within the team.

Sangaré Among Forest’s Top Performers This Season

Sangaré’s resurgence has been one of the most pleasing stories of Forest’s campaign. At present, he ranks among the side’s most consistent and influential players.

Forest look far more balanced with him orchestrating play in midfield. His ability to transition quickly from defence to attack sets him apart from anyone else in the squad.

Playing with visible joy and composure, Sangaré has become central to Forest’s survival hopes. If he can remain fit for the remainder of the season, his influence could prove decisive.

Seeing Sangaré share that moment with the supporters was special—and right now, there’s a growing consensus among the fan base that the Ivorian international is vital to Forest’s cause.
