Nikola Milenkovic's unfortunate own goal handed the hosts the lead before Igor Thiago wrapped up the points late on, with only his second league goal of the campaign.
Brentford win piles more pressure on Glasner
Brentford returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Gtech Community Stadium, ending a three-match wait for maximum points.
It was a relatively subdued opening, with Mamadou Sangare and Thiago both threatening for the Bees either side of a Liam Delap effort that sailed well over the crossbar.
The deadlock was broken on the half-hour mark when Milenkovic was caught out by Dango Ouattara's low delivery, with the defender unable to evade the cross as the ball looped off him, beyond the despairing Matz Sels, and into the net.
James McAtee attempted to inspire a response from the visitors and came close to doing so, cutting inside before seeing a well-struck effort flash wide of the target.
Keith Andrews' side then came within inches of doubling their advantage before the interval, as Mathias Jensen's superb free-kick cannoned back off the crossbar.
The Tricky Trees emerged from the break with more energy and looked to raise the tempo after substitutes Ryan Yates and Daniel Munoz entered the contest.
Yates nearly made an instant impact when he met Morgan Gibbs-White's excellent delivery, but his diving header drifted over the crossbar.
Gibbs-White was involved again moments later, meeting a corner at the far post and directing a header back across goal, only for Thiago to be on hand to do his defensive duties.
Forest's pressure eventually began to subside, though, and Brentford capitalised to make the result safe.
In the 76th minute, substitute Jaidon Anthony produced an excellent run down the right before picking out Thiago, who bundled home via another unfortunate deflection off Milenkovic.
