Fulham defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the 17th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season after Raul Jimenez scored a penalty. Marco Silva, in an interview, said it was a testament to the team's professionalism and a very important three points.

Kevin went down while attempting to break through the defense during first-half stoppage time, and after VAR intervention, the referee awarded Fulham a penalty. Raul Jimenez then converted the penalty, giving Fulham a 1-0 lead.

Fulham ultimately defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home. With their second consecutive win, Fulham currently sits in 13th place in the league table with 23 points.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said, "This is an extremely important three points for us, a very crucial victory. If we can win again at home, then the previous away win against Burnley will be even more significant. We talked about this before the game and emphasized its importance. We should have gotten more in our previous two games against Manchester City and Crystal Palace, and it is also very important to be able to achieve consecutive wins in the league now."

“I must admit that, from a possession standpoint, this wasn’t our best game. We played well in the first half, though not consistently, but we made good use of the left flank at times. When we had a numerical advantage in certain areas, we were able to create space and generate some good chances.”

Furthermore, Marco Silva added, "In the second half, we wanted to control the game in a different way. Off the ball, we gave the opponent almost no space. They did have some possession, but they didn't create any chances. We managed the game according to plan. Although we didn't have much possession, at that stage I felt we needed Tom Kenney to improve our ball control, which is why I made the substitution. His presence on the pitch made us more composed when we had possession."

"It was a professional team performance. We kept a clean sheet, which is very important for us, and we won a well-deserved victory. I don't recall Nottingham Forest having a single real scoring opportunity throughout the entire match."
