Nottingham Forest assistant Rui Barbosa needed six stitches after getting a little too carried away celebrating his team's first goal of the season on Sunday.<br /><br />Forest kicked off their campaign in style with a convincing 3-1 win over Brentford at the City Ground.<br /><br />It took the home side just five minutes to break the deadlock, striker Chris Wood pouncing on a loose ball in the area.<br /><br />The early goal drew a big reaction from the dugout, and Barbosa banged his head on it during the celebrations.<br /><br />He was left with a big cut, and the club's medical staff were quickly on hand to tend to the wound. <br /><br />'He has six stitches! It was a nasty one. A bad one. He was dizzy,' manager Nuno Espirito Santo said after the game when asked about the incident.<br /><br />Dan Ndoye doubled Forest's lead with a fine header before Wood got his second with a clinical finish moments before half-time. <br /><br />Igor Thiago pulled one back from the penalty spot, but it proved to be a mere consolation.<br /><br />'I am delighted,' Santo added. 'The way we started the game was amazing. We played well, we dominated, we controlled.<br /><br />'The goal in the first five minutes settled the team and the energy of the stadium.<br /><br />'Except for a moment before the third goal, we did not allow Brentford too many things.'
