Harry Wilson scored twice to give Fulham a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, whose miserable previous season continued in Portugal tonight.
The Forest Chief, Nuno Espírito Santo, appointed an inexperienced initial XI and had no response when Wilson’s Brace, the second of a free kick, put the cottagers in part -time control.
A team almost for the first time reached the break, including Morgan Gibbs-White, Murillo and Chris Wood, but Fulham scored again through Andreas Pereira.
Wood withdrew one with a registered trademark heading, but the forest could not add to his account. The defeat occurs after the draws without goals against Chesterfield and Monaco.

“Maybe we are a bit tired, but it is not an excuse.
“At the end of this game, we are disappointed because we lost this opportunity to grow again through this preseason.
