Fulham 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Kaleem Aftab reports from Craven Cottage

FULHAM moved up to fifth in the Championship on a rainy afternoon at Craven Cottage with two second-half goals that finally broke the resistance of a new-look Nottingham Forest side.

The home team took advantage of Forest mistakes to secure their fifth league win on the bounce. Lucan Piazon opened the scoring when Costel Pantilimon could only parry Piazon’s shot into his own net.
It was a debut to forget for the deadline-day loan signing from Watford, one of three new faces for Forest.

Stefan Johansen wrapped up the win with a last-minute effort following a mistake from Joe Warrall, who had come closest to scoring for the visitors when he headed against the post just after half-time.
