Omo, you go believe say Fulham just give Nottingham Forest one sweet dose of reality as dem win 1-0 for Craven Cottage yesterday. Raul Jimenez na di main man, wey use penalty to carry all three points and help Fulham jump out from relegation wahala.
As di match start, Fulham dey just two points above Forest wey dey struggle for di bottom. But Jimenez, wey sabi do am well for penalty, show say e no wan let im team down. Na him first-half goal don position dem well for Christmas run.
Forest, dem don knack six wins for di last eight matches but dis loss go make dem shine dem eye well. Sean Dyche, di new coach, don try improve di squad, but dis time, dem just miss di chance to use dem good form to climb higher.
Igor Jesus, di striker wey dey show promise for Forest, miss two big chances wey fit change di game. After Callum Hudson-Odoi find am with one sweet pass, no be small thing when e blast over di bar which if na another person like Messi, e go turn am goal. E no end there, as Jesus also allow di Fulham defence to clear another chance. Hmmm, wetin dey happen na?
Fulham no even get all dia top players available, but dem still manage shine. People like Chukwueze and Iwobi dey represent Nigeria for di Africa Cup of Nations, but dat no stop Jimenez from shooting di penalty into di net, as e don score all di penalties wey e don take for Premier League.
Forest try put pressure for second half, fit squeeze draw from di match, but Leno, di Fulham goalkeeper, dey there to block dem. Even Murillo wey try blast one long shot, but Leno no gree make dat one enter. Forest no dey far from relegation like West Ham wey dey below dem.
Di match clearly show say if you no take am serious for pitch, e fit backfire on you. Dyche don dey remind im boys about di importance of finishing off chances. Na so dem waka go Christmas, but we go dey watch wetin go happen next as dem dem try make di second half of di season sweet for dem.
