Harry Wilson scored twice to give Fulham a 3-1 victory against Nottingham Forest, whose miserable pre-season continued in Portugal this evening.
The boss of the Nuno Espírito Santo forest appointed an inexperienced starting outing and they had no response when Wilson’s Brace, the second of a free kick, put the chalets in control at halftime.
An almost first-choix team occurred at the break, notably Morgan Gibbs-White, Murillo and Chris Wood, but Fulham scored again by Andreas Pereira.
Wood pulled one with a brand head but the forest could not add to their count. The defeat comes after a safe blow against Chesterfield and Monaco.

The BRIS LE BRIS Patron has appointed a strong team, but the Wearsiders were compressed by the Scottish Première team thanks to the goals of Claudia Braga, Lawrence Shankland and Alexandros Kyziridis.
The BRIS said to the club’s website: “I think that, for the first time this pre -season, we faced a team with a great intensity, a direct game, a man for the man – and we had trouble.
“Maybe we are a little tired, but it’s not an excuse.
“At the end of this match, we are disappointed because we missed this opportunity to grow during this pre-season.
“So, a strong reminder: sometimes you need a punch in the face to say, oh, the season has restarted – and that was.”
