Even with three points, the Reds were unable to move into the top six, and the officials were once again the primary topic of conversation.
Raul Jimenez converted the penalty after Murillo had given it away, earning Fulham a decisive victory and his 50th Premier League goal.
Richard Keys sympathized with Forest, while Brian Laws thought the decision against Forest was a little severe.
Although Forest hasn’t been able to win since defeating Liverpool, the Reds have still had a respectable start to the season.
Marco Silva criticizes Forest following Fulham’s victory
Following Steve Cooper’s dismissal in December, there was a rumor that Marco Silva, the manager of Fulham, would be the ideal choice for Evangelos Marinakis.
The Portuguese manager has a great rapport with
and previously won a league title with Olympiacos.
But he looked to be taking a slight jab at Forest in his post-game remarks, saying that his Fulham squad was at ease.
During his press conference following the game, he stated: “I don’t remember a big chance for them (Forest).” Awoniyi only had one in the first half. Nothing noteworthy from Bernd Leno either, demonstrating how we managed to maintain our organization.
Silva says harshly, but Forest wasn’t very good.
Notoriety-wise, Forest struggles to win matches against Fulham, and their recent achievements have been few and far between.
Jota Silva gave Leno a long-range test at the end, but the goalkeeper made an easy save. That was the only meaningful chance of note.
To Forest’s dismay, the offside flag had already been raised when Chris Wood crossed the line in the first half.
Although Silva’s comment of Awoniyi’s effort was more conjectural, the replays did demonstrate that it was closer than the crowd may have initially believed.
Silva’s remarks, meanwhile, could be a touch harsh given that his team needed a very minor penalty to win the game.
Okay, so Leno didn’t have a save to make, but to be really honest, neither did Matz Sels.
Forest will need to accept this setback and try to bounce back at Chelsea the following week.
