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 are still dominating possession here, but now Forest are back in their shape, making it difficult once again. Willian spins away from Cook and wins another free-kick.

GOOD SAVE! Pereira takes the resulting corner as well and Mitrovic makes an unmarked run to the near post. He thumps a header towards goal, which Henderson sees late, but the keeper bundles it away.

Pereira steps up to take the free-kick just outside the box, but he can't get enough height on it. Awoniyi makes the block in the wall and it loops onto the roof of the net.

Fulham are enjoying a good spell of possession here, but are struggling to find a way in behind Forest. The visitors are patiently switching it from side to side, with little luck in opening up their opponents at the moment.

CHANCE! It's a wonderful cross in by Ream on the left, as he curls the low ball onto the edge of the six-yard box. Pereira slides in to try and get a touch to take it past Henderson, but it's just out of his reach.

Again, Fulham break quickly on the counter, with Tete and Willian linking up well down the right. The Brazilian swings in a cross, but it's too close to Henderson.
