"Fulham are battling. Marco Silva's options are limited and he does not have many ways to freshen up his side, but at least he can count on an experienced core and a group willing to scrap when they are at risk of being dragged towards the relegation zone. It is putting it kindly to say this game will not live long in the memory."
"Fulham fought to claim a vital win. They remained disciplined during a tense second half and their organisation exposed Nottingham Forest's utter lack of imagination. Sean Dyche, who will no doubt grumble about the award for Jimenez's penalty, saw little from his side. Forest barely had a chance of note and will rue missing an opportunity to increase their five-point lead over West Ham in 18th place."
Fulham are battling with limited squad options but rely on an experienced core and a group willing to scrap to avoid relegation. The match was scrappy, stop-start and overly physical, with both sides disappointing in the final third. A rash challenge by Douglas Luiz gifted a penalty to Raul Jimenez, who scored the only goal, lifting Fulham 10 points above the bottom three. Fulham remained disciplined in a tense second half and exposed Nottingham Forest's lack of imagination. Forest created few clear chances despite early pressure and will regret the missed opportunity to extend their cushion. Injuries and Africa Cup of Nations absences stretched Fulham's small squad.
