Nottingham Forest put on a dominant display as they comfortably defeated Fulham in their recent encounter at The City Ground in Nottingham. The match, which took place on the 2nd of April 2024, saw Nottingham Forest emerge victorious with a 3-1 scoreline.

Right from the start, Nottingham Forest showed their attacking intent. In the 9th minute, the home team took the lead with a goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was assisted by Morgan Gibbs-White. This early goal set the tone for the rest of the match.

Nottingham Forest continued to dominate proceedings and doubled their lead in the 19th minute. Chris Wood found the back of the net, thanks to an assist from Murillo. The home team's attacking prowess was on full display as they added a third goal just before half-time. Morgan Gibbs-White turned from provider to scorer as he capitalized on an assist from Danilo in the 45+3rd minute.

Trailing by three goals, Fulham needed a quick response in the second half. They managed to pull one back in the 49th minute when Tosin Adarabioyo found the back of the net, with an assist from Andreas Pereira. However, it was not enough to mount a comeback as Nottingham Forest held firm and secured all three points.

The match witnessed a total of three substitutions from Nottingham Forest. In the 70th minute, Callum Hudson-Odoi was replaced by Divock Origi.
