Fulham make three substitutions after 33 minutes, trailing Nottingham Forest 3-0 - 'Public embarrassment'

Fulham manager Marco Silva wasn't too impressed with how his starting line-up fared in the opening half hour against Nottingham Forest, having watched his side go 2-0 down within the first 20 minutes.

After 33 minutes, he decided he had seen enough and substituted off Alex Iwobi, Sasa Lukic and Harry Wilson - in what TNT commentator Martin Keown described as a "public embarrassment".

But worse was to come for Fulham, who conceded a third goal before the break when Morgan Gibbs-White scored for Forest.

"As if it wasn’t embarrassing enough to go off after the half hour, you now have to sit there and think about your game," Keown said when the substitutions were made, with the cameras picking up three clearly dejected players as they retreated to the bench, heads hanging.

Forest are trying to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone, and their players certainly didn't seem to be distracted from the off-field fight that is brewing, with the club appealing the decision to dock the Reds four points for a breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

They looked on top form from the off, with the opening goal coming after just nine minutes, courtesy of Callum Hudson-Odoi before Chris Wood added a second at the 19-minute mark, which was enough for Silva to decide enough was enough and call for his highly unusual triple substitution.
