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.

GOOD CHANCE! Johnson bursts forward down the right, leaving Ream behind, and he puts a low cross into the box. Gibbs-White just slips as he hits the shot, but a deflection off Diop helps it wide of the near post.

Tete does well to get a cross in from the byline, but it's nodded straight back to him by McKenna. He recycles it, trying to pick out Mitrovic, but the defender gets in the way of it again.

Forest's attempt to patiently work it upfield doesn't work, so Boly decides to go long, lifting it over the top for Awoniyi to chase. There's too much on it though and Leno comes out to collect it.

It's a heavy challenge on Reed from Gibbs-White, and Fulham have a free-kick. Pereira floats it in, and Mitrovic tangles with Cook just inside the box off the ball, but the referee shakes his head at the penalty claim.

A slightly nervy moment for Leno early on as Ream knocks it back to him, unaware that Johnson is chasing him down. He's close to cutting it out, but the keeper clears his lines in time.
