Fulham got their Premier League campaign back on track with a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Monday, courtesy of a first-half penalty from Raul Jimenez.
The game was cagey in the opening stages, with few clear-cut chances. Forest’s Sasa Lukic curled a low effort wide from the edge of the box in the 39th minute, while Fulham’s Jimenez saw a near-post header glance the side netting as the hosts looked to break the deadlock.
On the stroke of half-time, Kevin was clipped in the Forest area by Douglas Luiz, and Jimenez stepped up to calmly send John Victor the wrong way from the spot, giving the Cottagers a vital 1-0 lead heading into the break.
Forest came out strongly in the second half, with Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White testing Fulham from distance, but the visitors struggled to carve open the home defence, and Marco Silva's side held firm to preserve their advantage.
The result lifts Fulham to 13th in the table, while Sean Dyche's men remain 17th, five points above the relegation zone.
