Follow all the action from The City Ground
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.

Awoniyi's early goal gives Forest a 1-0 lead over Fulham at half-time. The breakthrough came from a corner, with Yates flicking on a cross to Awoniyi, who thumps a header under Leno and into the back of the net. Fulham had the better chances after that though, with both Mitrovic and Tete forcing Henderson into good saves, but they haven't found a way through yet.

GOOD SAVE! There's time for one last attack for Fulham after Willian bundles the ball away from Freuler before picking out Tete's overlapping run. He takes the shot instead of crossing it, and Henderson pushes it wide of the near post.
