Nottingham Forest 1 Fulham 3
Aboubakar Kamara, Stefan Johansen and Neeskens Kebano were all on target as Fulham won an end-to-end encounter at the City Ground.
Summer signing Kamara put the Whites in front with his second goal in as many games, but it was cancelled out by Forest’s Daryl Murphy.
Both sides had chances, with Kamara hitting the post and Fulham keeper David Button denying Jason Cummings, before Johansen’s curling left-footed effort found the top corner 17 minutes from time.
Kebano then finished it off late on when he fired home following an intelligent run and cut back from fellow substitute Yohan Mollo, for Fulham’s second win in six away league games this season.
Summer signing Kamara had netted as a substitute against Middlesbrough on Saturday and was rewarded with only his second start of the season.
And he repaid that faith on 13 minutes, receiving a pass from Ryan Sessegnon and – as Forest defenders appealed in vain for offside – steadying himself before slipping the ball home.
Shortly after the goal, Sheyi Ojo had a shot blocked by Forest keeper Jordan Smith but the home side levelled when Murphy – who had earlier blazed over – nodded in a cross from former QPR man Armand Traore.
The chances continued to flow after the break. Johansen clipped the top of the bar while Cummings shot over and also forced a fine save from Button.
Kamara then hit the base of the near post having been played in by Johansen, who demonstrated his prowess from dead-ball situations after Ryan Fredericks’ run was illegally halted.
Hearts were in Fulham mouths when Murphy had another good opportunity, shooting just wide after being fed by Zack Clough’s flick, and that was to prove costly as Mollo teed up Kebano.
