Nottingham Forest vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Fulham: Three first-half goals earned the hosts a precious win
Three first-half goals earned Nottingham Forest a vital 3-1 victory over Fulham in their battle to stay away from the Premier League relegation zone.
The hosts were irrepressible in the first period with Callum Hudson-Odoi opening the scoring after nine minutes and Chris Wood doubling Forest’s advantage in the 19th minute.
Stunned Fulham manager Marco Silva made a triple substitution but it got worse for the visitors before the interval as the outstanding Morgan Gibbs-White made it 3-0 in stoppage time with a clinical finish.
Fulham reacted well in the second half and threw themselves a lifeline when Tosin Adarabioyo headed in from a corner.
Both sides hit the woodwork but despite a few jitters Forest held firm to move to 25 points, three ahead of Luton Town who occupy the last relegation place.
