'We've not seen something like that for a while' - Nottingham Forest deliver brilliant win at Fulham

Two goals from Lewis Grabban saw Nottingham Forest brilliantly beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

Grabban rounded off a slick team move in the fourth minute and with the Reds under pressure, he doubled the lead on the hour.

Aleksandar Mitrovic got what turned out to be a consolation goal for the home side as the visitors weathered eight minutes of stoppage time.

Jack Robinson took the ball on the left flank and sent his delivery into the box for Grabban to connect first time past Marcus Bettinelli and open the scoring.

Although Forest were on the back foot, they managed to double their advantage just after the hour mark.

Grabban picked up a loose ball outside the area and was able to take advantage of some slack defending to fire home off the post.

The home side put themselves back in contention with a goal on 84 minutes, after Mitrovic put his effort to the left of Brice Samba.

Forest correspondent Sarah Clapson gave her verdict on the game as the dust settled at Craven Cottage.
