Fulham made home advantage count and defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 on Monday (22nd), in a match valid for the 17th round of the Premier League 2025/26.

In a balanced game with few clear chances, the London team was decisive at the right moment and secured the three points thanks to Raul Jiménez.

The match's goal came in the stoppage time of the first half. After Fulham's pressure inside the area, the referee awarded a penalty, which was expertly converted by Raul Jiménez, who sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and put the home team ahead before the break.

In the second half, Forest tried to respond, pushed their lines forward, and had more possession, but ran into Fulham's well-organized defense, which managed the result well.
