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.

GOOD SAVE! Pereira is clumsily fouled by Worrall, and the Brazilian steps up to take the free-kick just outside the D. He manages to lift his shot over the wall this time, and Henderson pushes it wide of this far post.

GREAT CHANCE! Awoniyi almost gets a second! Gibbs-White swings the corner into the near post and Worrall rises highest to get the flick-on this time. Awoniyi makes a late run to the far side but glances his header wide.
