Nottingham Forest displayed a massive statement of intent in the Sky Bet Championship at the weekend, defeating promotion contenders Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

The Reds were starting to pick up in the league after a somewhat slow start, with Sabri Lamouchi hoping for his side to pick up seven points in the space of a week on Saturday afternoon.

Fulham defeated Millwall by four goals to nil in midweek so were clearly a team to be feared with the quality in their attacking armory, but it was Forest who came out on top at the weekend.

Two goals from Lewis Grabban in each half put them into an impressive 2-0 lead, and despite Aleksandar Mitrovic's late strike, Lamouchi's men held onto a massive three points.

It was a game where Forest had to battle hard and dig deep, especially in midfield, where Ben Watson and Samba Sow performed fantastically well to keep the likes of Tom Cairney and Stefan Johansen quiet.

Sow impressed against Birmingham at the weekend, and after being given another opportunity to impress from the off, the 30-year-old certainly didn't waste his chance.
