Fulham played out a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest in their Sunday afternoon clash at the City Ground.
Neither side could really claim to have done enough to win the contest, although the hosts did see a goal disallowed for offside early in the second half.
Marco Silva’s men survived that scare and dug in to take a point back to SW6.
There were three changes from Fulham’s last Premier League outing, with Joachim Andersen, Oscar Bobb and Harry Wilson coming into the XI. Raúl Jiménez led the line just two days after the tragic passing of his father, Raúl Jiménez Vega.
The first chance fell to Forest inside the opening ten minutes when Chris Wood beat Calvin Bassey to the ball and cut in on his left, but the striker dragged his effort wide of the post.
Bassey almost gave Fulham the lead soon after. The centre-back did well to meet Alex Iwobi’s inviting free-kick from the right, but his header was straight at Matt Sels.
Bernd Leno was called into action twice in quick succession – first when Elliot Anderson struck a low free-kick on target, and again when Nicolás Domínguez tried to pick out the bottom corner from the edge of the box, with our number one comfortably claiming both efforts.
Chances were at a premium, though Harry Wilson did test the Forest defence when he aimed for the top corner with his trusty left foot, only for Murillo to make the block.
Former Fulham man Neco Williams tried to break the deadlock shortly before the break, but his fierce drive took a deflection and went behind for a corner.
There was a nervy moment early in the second half when Bassey brought down Dan Ndoye in the box. Referee Sam Barrott pointed to the spot, but the decision was overturned as Ndoye had strayed offside before racing through.
Fulham rode their luck again moments later when Ola Aina – another former White – set himself up with a clever first touch before seeing a thunderous half-volley crash against the crossbar.
Forest thought they had taken the lead just past the hour mark when Ndoye got the wrong side of the defence and nudged the ball beyond Leno, but the forward was once again ruled marginally offside.
Marco looked to change things with a triple substitution, and Rodrigo Muniz almost made an immediate impact, his effort being headed over. Saša Lukic then tried his luck from the resulting corner, firing narrowly wide.
Substitute Samuel Chukwueze was next to threaten, latching onto a ball over the top and looking to pick out Iwobi in the middle, but he couldn’t quite apply the finishing touch.
Forest pushed late on, but Fulham stood firm to secure a point on the road.
