Nottingham Forest loses 2-0 to Brentford as Champions League hopes are hit
NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) --- Nottingham Forest's Champions League hopes were
dealt a blow after a 2-0 loss to Brentford in the Premier League on Thursday.
Forest could have moved up to third in the standings with a win but remains in
sixth place with four rounds of the season to go.
Kevin Schade opened the scoring for Brentford at the City Ground in the 44th
minute and Yoane Wissa sealed victory in 70th.
Forest is behind fifth-place Chelsea on goal difference.
The top five in the standings will qualify for the Champions League after
England's top flight was handed a bonus place for the performance its teams in
Europe this season.
The battle to qualify remains wide open with just five points separating
third-place Newcastle and Aston Villa in seventh.
