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.

Lodi can't find a way through down the left, so Forest patiently work it out to the opposite flank. Williams tries to pick out Johnson's run but overhits the throughball and Leno collects again.

Fulham break quickly on the counter this time, and Willian loses Lodi with a clever bit of footwork. He has three in the middle to aim for but drags his pullback well behind everyone.

Forest are looking to make a quick start to the second half, with Gibbs-White flicking it through to Johnson. His first touch takes him past the defender but also gets away from him and Leno slides out to collect it.

Cooper will be pleased with how his side started the game, but they began to sit back after taking the lead, so he'll be hoping for an improvement after the break. Fulham had a good response to going behind, and Silva will be urging them to make a quick start to the second half.
