'It's self-inflicted again': Steve Cooper believes Nottingham Forest squad have to look at themselves after the club slumped to another Premier League defeat at home to Fulham

Steve Cooper feels Nottingham Forest's problems are 'self-inflicted' after familiar failings led to a 3-2 defeat against Fulham at the City Ground.

A fortnight after squandering a two-goal lead against Bournemouth to lose 3-2, Forest went ahead early on through Taiwo Awoniyi against the Cottagers but then conceded three times in a breathless six-minute window.

Tosin Adarabioyo levelled after 54 minutes before Joao Palhinha's terrific strike put them ahead, while Harrison Reed's first goal for Fulham meant Lewis O'Brien's effort was a mere consolation for Forest.
