Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp scoffs at suggestion of Premier League All-Star game

Nottingham Forest squandered a lead for the second successive Premier League game as they slipped to a 3-2 home defeat by Fulham in the Premier League.

Taiwo Awoniyi gave Forest the perfect start when he headed them in front after 11 minutes from a Ryan Yates corner, but Fulham struck three times in six minutes early in the second half to turn the match on its head.

Tosin Adarabioyo headed the equaliser in the 54th minute from a Willian cross and three minutes later Joao Palhinha found the top corner with a superb left-footed effort. Forest were at sixes and sevens and Fulham scored again when Harrison Reed fired home from a Bobby De Cordova-Reid cross.

Lewis O’Brien gave Forest hope with a 77th-minute effort but Steve Cooper’s side could not salvage a point.

Fulham have their first win on the road this season, and it lifts them up to seventh in the table. Their next game, after the international break, is Newcastle United. That's four losses on the bounce for Forest, who stay in 19th. They face a struggling Leicester City side next time out.

Fulham hold on to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2. It was the hosts that took the lead early in the first half, with Awoniyi thumping a header in from a corner. Fulham couldn't turn their threat into a goal before the break, but three goals in six minutes in the second half turned the game on its head. Adarabioyo equalised with a header and Palhinha curled in a delightful finish before Reed added a third on the half-volley. O'Brien pulled one back following a quick counter, but Forest couldn't find a late equaliser.

Forest are struggling to get on the ball at the moment, and when Dennis does have the opportunity to break forward, he stumbles over it, losing out to Ream.

CHANCE! Cairney just manages to get the ball away from Yates before sliding a great throughball down the right for James. He knocks it past McKenna before trying to curl it into the far post, but it flies wide.
