    GOAL: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Fulhampublished at 58 mins

    Aleksandar Mitrovic

    Well, you do not gift this man a chance on goal in your own area and that's exactly what Nottingham Forest have done.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic will not score an easier goal all season.

    A mix up between the Forest defenders as the ball pinged around the edge of their area from that free-kick and Mitrovic almost doesn't have to aim a shot as the ball lands in his path and his momentum takes it towards goal.

    A simple gift of a goal - 14 in 14 now for the Serbia international - and Fulham are now in full control.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Another Forest player in the book and it's Philip Zinckernagel this time.

    He's adjudged to have tripped Jean-Michael Seri.

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Forest with some momentum as once again Max Lowe finds chance to send in a cross low from the left.

    Fulham cut out the first cross and then Marek Rodak claims the ball two-handed as Lewis Grabban tries to force it back across the six-yard area.

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Corner for Forest as Max Lowe forces it to be deflected behind after some good work down the left.

    Philip Zinckernagel inswings on his right foot but Tim Ream heads clear for Fulham close to his six-yard box.

  5. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Denis Odoi fancies himself for a shot from range and lines one up from 25 yards on his right.

    But no need for Brice Samba to worry about that one as it goes well wide to the right of his goal.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 50 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Jack Colback makes way before he risks being sent off and is replaced by James Garner in a like-for-like change for the hosts.

  7. Postpublished at 49 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Jack Colback walking a bit of a tightrope as he fouls Harry Wilson right under the referee's nose.

    He's on a yellow after a foul in the first half. A central free-kick for Fulham some 35 yards out.

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Glorious chance for an equaliser missed by Lewis Grabban!

    Looked destined to sweep home Philip Zinckernagel's cross from the right, but he lifted it miles over the crossbar.

    Seemed to have an age to bring it under control but chose to try and finish it first time on the bounce.

  9. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Forest's Max Lowe concedes a free-kick early in the second half as he pulls back Harry Wilson.

    Former Derby loanee Wilson has come in for some extra "attention", shall we say, so far from one section of the home crowd.

  10. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Forest returned out the tunnel first before Tom Cairney led the visitors back out on to the pitch.

    No changes for either side at the break.

    HT: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Almost time to resume at the City Ground.

    A good following inside the stadium. Can they be the 12th man the hosts need to get back into this one?

    And we played just one added minute.

    Fulham go into the interval with the lead that if it remains that way, would be enough to see them return to second place.

    Djed Spence has a goal giving unfortunately against him after his was the final touch from an early low Fulham corner to the near post.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Denis Odoi goes into the book after a very wild sliding attempted tackle on Scott McKenna.

    Into stoppage time we go meanwhile.

  18. Postpublished at 44 mins

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham

    Half-time approaching and Forest keep plugging away.

    They keep putting Marek Rodak under pressure every time he has to receive a backpass.

    Doesn't look the happiest to get it near his own goal.

    At the other end, Joe Worrall makes another timely interception to prevent Neeskens Kebano firing a shot away inside the area.

    He fired it towards the near post with Joe Worrall looking to arrive from deep to stab towards goal, but Fulham once again sweep it clear.

    Forest win a free-kick on the edge of the Fulham box down by the byeline after Brennan Johnson is upended.

    Philip Zinckernagel stands over it...
