Boss Steve Cooper was once again left to rue a “self-inflicted” wound as Nottingham Forest suffered a fourth-straight defeat, falling 3-2 at home to Fulham.
The Reds head coach admitted a lack of game management after conceding is proving costly for his team, as, for the second match in a row, they were guilty of a second half collapse. Three goals in the space of six minutes turned the game on its head at the City Ground.
Taiwo Awoniyi had given the hosts the lead at the break. But, just as they had done against Bournemouth previously, Forest then fell apart. Tosin Adarabioyo, Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed found the net in quick succession, and although substitute Lewis O’Brien pulled one back with 13 minutes to go, it was too little, too late.
