Fulham returned to the automatic promotion spots this afternoon after a 4-0 win away at the division’s in-form team Nottingham Forest.
An Aleksandar Mitrovic brace added to an own goal and a Neeskens Kebano strike as Marco Silva’s Fulham passed a significant test at a team who had won four and drawn another in new boss Steve Cooper’s first five games.
The London side have won four of their last five - with a strange 4-1 thrashing at Coventry sandwiched in the middle of that run - and one would be a fool to bet against them making an instant return to the Premier League.
