Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker and pundit Alan Shearer were both left dumbfounded by the fact that Nottingham Forest saw both starting centre-backs Willy Boly and Scott McKenna substituted through injury within the first seven minutes of their 2-0 defeat at Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Both defenders appeared to pick up similar injuries in the same passage of play, forcing Forest boss Steve Cooper to replace his current favoured pairing with Joe Worrall and Felipe.
The Reds couldn't recover from the early blow as Willian gave the hosts the lead in the 17th minute with a pinpoint strike before Manor Solomon wrapped up the Cottagers' first league victory in four matches late in the second half.
