Nottingham Forest vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Fulham FC in the Premier League today.
Nottingham Forest handed a debut to centre-back Willy Boly as Steve Cooper made three changes to his line-up for the visit of Fulham.
Boly was joined in the XI by Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler and Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi, with club captain Joe Worrall, Jesse Lingard and Cheikhou Kouyate all dropping to the bench.
Fulham brought in Issa Diop and Willian as Neeskens Kebano settled for a place among the substitutes, with Antonee Robinson ruled out because of an ankle injury.
The Premier League resumed after last weekend’s fixtures were called off as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen, with a minute’s silence taking place before kick-off.

Fulham hold on to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2. It was the hosts that took the lead early in the first half, with Awoniyi thumping a header in from a corner. Fulham couldn't turn their threat into a goal before the break, but three goals in six minutes in the second half turned the game on its head. Adarabioyo equalised with a header and Palhinha curled in a delightful finish before Reed added a third on the half-volley. O'Brien pulled one back following a quick counter, but Forest couldn't find a late equaliser.

CHANCE! Cairney just manages to get the ball away from Yates before sliding a great throughball down the right for James. He knocks it past McKenna before trying to curl it into the far post, but it flies wide.

It's a poor corner for Fulham and McKenna nods it away before Surridge tries to help it out to Lingard for the counter. Ream crashes into him before Reed intercepts the attack, and Forest aren't happy that they don't get a free-kick.

Cooper will be pleased with how his side started the game, but they began to sit back after taking the lead, so he'll be hoping for an improvement after the break. Fulham had a good response to going behind, and Silva will be urging them to make a quick start to the second half.

Awoniyi's early goal gives Forest a 1-0 lead over Fulham at half-time. The breakthrough came from a corner, with Yates flicking on a cross to Awoniyi, who thumps a header under Leno and into the back of the net. Fulham had the better chances after that though, with both Mitrovic and Tete forcing Henderson into good saves, but they haven't found a way through yet.
