Harry Wilson got the ball rolling for the Cottagers with two world-class finishes, the first a chip and the second a brilliant free-kick to make it 2-0 with fewer than 20 mintes on the clock.

That's how they went in at half-time, and it was Fulham that again scored first in the second half, Andreas Pereira, one of several changes for Marco Silva's side at the break, powering home just before the hour mark to make it 3-0.

New Zealand striker Chris Wood nodded home a consolation for Forest with 15 minutes to go, but it was Fulham that finished the victor in a solid run out for both sides.
