Liverpool young gun Canos nets first Brentford goal in dramatic win

Sergio Canos opened his goalscoring account for Brentford on the weekend.


The 18-year-old Spanish winger came off the bench to grab the opener in the 63rd minute of the Bees' 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest at Griffin Park.

Harlee Dean's header fell nicely for Canos who controlled cleverly with his chest before calmly slotting home to give his side the lead.

Dean was controversially sent off in the 71st minute, reducing Brentford to ten men, which prompted Forest to get back on level terms through Henri Lansbury before Canos forced a quality save from Dorus de Vries.

Canos was then involved in Brentford's 96th-minute winner, with some clever lead-up play, which was scored by Philipp Hofmann.

The win, which had Canos beaming, sees Lee Carsley's men stay in 11th place on the Championship table.
