Forest failed to return to winning ways in the Championship on Tuesday evening, as they played out a 1-1 draw with Fulham at home.

After a goalless first half, Nicklas Bendtner put the Reds in the lead on the hour mark. Tom Cairney slotted the ball in from close range in the 72nd minute to restore parity for the visiting team.

Over the course of the 90 minutes at the City Ground on Tuesday evening, hosts Forest had 43% of the possession, took 14 shots of which only two were on target, and earned two corners, according to BBC Sport.

Philippe Montanier’s side will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Bristol City away from home at the Ashton Gate Stadium in the Championship.
