Forest's free-kick is blocked by the wall, but the hosts keep hold of it. Lodi swings in another cross from the left, looking for Yates at the far post, but Leno plucks it out of the air.

After a scrappy bit of play in midfield, it's worked out to Williams and he swings a good, early cross into the box. Tete sticks out a leg but can only clear it to Lodi. He sets himself before hitting the shot, but Tete throws himself in front of it.

Fulham are starting to get a lot of joy down the right and Tete swings another good cross in. Mitrovic chests it down at the far post, but Boly gets an important touch that prevents him from having a shot.

GREAT CHANCE! Pereira lifts the free-kick towards the far post, and Palhinha brings it down completely unmarked. Instead of hitting it first time, he hesitates before curling it straight at Henderson before the flag goes up.
