Troubled Fulham well beaten at Forest

Nottingham Forest 3 Fulham 0


Fulham’s miserable season continued with a defeat at the City Ground.

Matt Mills scored two of Nottingham Forest’s goals, with Chris O’Grady getting the other against the managerless Whites.

Matt Smith and Ross McCormack had good chances for Fulham in the first half but were unable to hit the target with headers.

Mills did find the target with a header – against the run of play and in the final minute of the half – after Eric Lichaj had hooked the ball back into the box following Henri Lansbury’s cross.

Worse followed for the visitors six minutes after the restart, when O’Grady pounced on the loose ball after keeper Joe Lewis had parried Nélson Oliveira’s shot.

Mills sealed Forest’s victory by heading home David Vaughan’s 78th-minute corner and was denied a hat-trick when an injury-time header hit the bar.
