Premier League explains Nottingham Forest penalty decision at Fulham

Sean Dyche watched Nottingham Forest concede a stoppage-time penalty at Fulham, with Raul Jimenez scoring after Anthony Taylor penalised Douglas Luiz for a foul on Kevin.

The Premier League's Match Centre said on X that VAR checked and confirmed the decision, judging the contact sufficient for a foul.

Jimenez sent goalkeeper John Victor the wrong way. It was the hosts’ only shot on target of the first half, as the visitors created chances but could not take them.

Forest arrived aiming for three wins on the spin. They had beaten Utrecht in the Europa League and Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground before their trip south.

Recent trips to Craven Cottage had offered little encouragement. Since both clubs were promoted in 2022, Forest had lost all three Premier League visits by an aggregate of 9-1, underscoring the challenge for Dyche.
