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.

Marco Silva makes just two changes from the defeat to Tottenham last time out, as Willian gets his first start for the club, and Diop is also brought in. Kebano starts on the bench, while Antonee Robinson misses out due to an ankle injury he picked up in that game.
