Man Utd 1-1 Nottm Forest Simon Stone BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old Trafford There were a few murmurings of discontent from the home supporters when Matthijs de Ligt delayed his pass out of defence, with Nottingham Forest's forwards holding their position. But when De Ligt did move, it, the combinations were excellent. The Dutchman's pass found Bruno Fernandes, who quickly moved the ball inside to Manuel Ugarte, who sent Alejandro Garnacho through. Matz Sels was equal to the Argentine's effort but the loose ball ran kindly for Rasmus Hojlund, who tapped home. Ruben Amorim enjoyed that one.

Bryan Mbeumo (right) put Brentford ahead with his ninth Premier League goal of the season Brentford maintained the best home record in the Premier League with a 4-2 victory over Newcastle in an entertaining match. A frenetic opening saw both sides score in the first 12 minutes, with Bryan Mbeumo's opener quickly cancelled out by Alexander Isak. Yoane Wissa restored Brentford's lead with his ninth goal in eight league games following a mistake by Harvey Barnes, but the English winger atoned with a fine turn and finish for 2-2. Wissa came close early in the second half for Brentford when his deflected shot was turned on to the post by Nick Pope, but central defender Nathan Collins did convert with a left-footed finish following a free-kick. And Kevin Schade clipped home late on to ensure Brentford have now won seven and drawn one of their eight home league games this season. The tone for an open game, played in torrential rain amid Storm Darragh, was set after three minutes when Sean Longstaff cracked the crossbar with an 18-yard effort. Have your say on Brentford's performance What did you make of Newcastle's display? After eight minutes, Brentford led. Christian Norgaard, making his 100th Premier League appearance, spread a pass to the right wing for Mbeumo who cut inside. His shot flicked off Fabian Schar and past the static Pope. But four minutes later, Newcastle equalised when Jacob Murphy's speculative shot from 25 yards was pounced on by Isak flinging himself in the way to head home. Newcastle had the better chances to take the lead but were punished for not taking them when Barnes gave the ball away in his own half with a loose pass. Wissa picked it up, ran at the retreating defence and curled a fine finish past Pope from the edge of the area. Barnes made amends in the 32nd minute, allowed too much time and space in the Brentford area to turn and finish low through the legs of Norgaard and past Mark Flekken at the far post. But the winner came in the 56th minute when Newcastle's defence allowed a long set-piece from Flekken to bounce in the area, with Collins stroking his second goal of the season across Pope. And the victory was sewn up late on when Mbeumo fed Schade who cleverly clipped his shot over the advancing Pope for 4-2. Alexander Isak has been directly involved in seven goals in Newcastle's past seven league games If you want entertainment this season, the only place to go is the Gtech Community Stadium. A league-high 40 goals have now been scored at Brentford's ground in just eight league matches in 2024-25. Mbeumo has been a major contributor to this. He had never scored more than eight in a Premier League season before but has nine already in this campaign, though his goal today was his first in six matches. He has helped Brentford to the best home record in the Premier League this season, now earning 22 points from eight games while scoring 26 goals. They are at times too frail in defence to look like they can maintain a consistent push for the European places, twice here conceding four minutes after going ahead. But they have now won five consecutive top-flight home matches for the first time since 1937, scoring at least three goals in each. There could have been even more goals to add to the Gtech tally had Newcastle not wasted several chances. Isak has been directly involved in seven goals in Newcastle's past seven league games, scoring five and setting up two – but he should have scored a sixth when he robbed a defender then rounded Brentford keeper Flekken. The Swedish striker took too long to apply the final touch though, allowing Flekken to scramble back and parry the ball away. Also in the first half, Bruno Guimaraes flashed a volley just wide from 25 yards and Murphy headed over a Barnes cross from six yards out. It means Newcastle have now only won twice in their last 11 league matches, and here suffered their first league loss to Brentford since January 1948. It leaves Newcastle stuck in the bottom half, 12th with five wins, five draws and five losses this season. Brentford by contrast are sixth, four points off the top four.

Newcastle have won their last five Premier League games against Brentford – only against Burnley between 2020 and 2024 (6) and Tottenham between 2006 and 2008 (6) have they had a longer winning run in the competition. Newcastle have won their last five away league games against Brentford in a run stretching back to 1992. In their league history, they’ve only ever won more consecutive away games against Derby (7 between 1951 and 1965). Newcastle have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 Premier League away games against London sides, shipping 26 goals in the process. Indeed, they’ve conceded at least twice in eight of their last 10 games in the capital. Brentford have won more home points than any other side in the Premier League this season (19). Their 19 points is their most after seven home games of a league season since 2004-05 (21 in League One), while their 22 goals is their most after seven home games since 1971-72 (26 in the fourth tier). Brentford have won their last four Premier League home games, conceding the first goal in each of the last three of these. No side in Premier League history has won four consecutive home games having conceded the first goal in each. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has never lost a Premier League game against Brentford (W5 D1), one of three sides he’s faced without losing along with Swansea (W4 D2) and Leeds (W1 D2). Having won each of his last five against the Bees, he’s looking to win six league games in a row against an opponent for the first time in his entire managerial career. Yoane Wissa has scored in each of his last six Premier League home games for Brentford, netting eight goals in total. Overall, he’s scored 18 goals at Gtech Community Stadium in the competition, just one fewer than Ivan Toney’s record of 19. Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes has scored seven goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances in London, while he’s netted away at Brentford in each of the last two campaigns, for Leicester in 2022-23 and the Magpies on the final day of last season. Having not scored or assisted in any of his first 27 home Premier League appearances for Brentford, Mikkel Damsgaard has been involved in a goal in each of his last four at the Gtech Community Stadium (1 goal, 4 assists). © 2024 BBC.
