Nottingham Forest secured a crucial victory against Fulham with their best opening 45 minutes of the season. Morgan Gibbs-White played a pivotal role contributing to one goal and scoring another as Forest moved three points clear of the relegation zone.

Despite the team’s ongoing appeal against a four-point penalty, their strong performance against Fulham showcased their potential for survival. Nuno Espirito Santo praised the energetic atmosphere at the City Ground, emphasizing the importance of fan support.

However, he cautioned against complacency as Forest prepare for future challenges. The match saw an early onslaught from Forest with goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood giving them a comfortable lead. Fulham attempts to rally in the second half were met with fierce resistance but they managed to pull one goal back through Tosin Adarabioyo.

Despite late pressure from Fulham, Forest held on for a crucial victory.
