LONDON (Reuters) - Nottingham Forest players need to be more vigilant after they allowed Brentford striker Ivan Toney to move the ball to a more favourable spot for a free kick that helped the Londoners secure a 3-2 Premier League win, Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo said on Saturday.

The Portuguese manager was left frustrated by Toney's 19th minute equaliser, with television replays showing the striker moved the ball from the marked spot before curling it around the wall and into the net.
