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.

Forest manage to work it through Fulham's high press this time, and Gibbs-White makes a promising run through the middle. He has options on either side, but Palhinha brings him down before he can pick one out.

There's a little bit of sloppiness sneaking into Forest's play as they try to rush it upfield. Another sloppy pass from Freuler is cut out and Yates ends up fouling Pereira in an attempt to make up for it.

De Cordova-Reed stretches to intercept another long ball out to Johnson, and he turns before setting Periera away down the left. He squares it into Palhinha, but he can't pick out Mitrovic.

Forest see two crosses blocked before Fulham quickly break on the counter. Willian slides it through to Mitrovic, who takes it around Cook but then slices at the shot, sending it high and wide of the far post, much to the Forest fans' delight.

AWONIYI SCORES! Gibbs-White swings in the resulting corner, and Yates rises above Adarabioyo in the middle to help it on. Awoniyi is there for Forest and he thumps his header into the ground, under Leno and into the back of the net. 1-0 Forest!
