Nottingham Forest 4-0 West Bromwich Albion: Steve Cooper's Reds win to delay Fulham promotion

Nottingham Forest further consolidated their place in the Championship play-offs as they beat West Bromwich Albion to make leaders Fulham wait for confirmation of their promotion.

Steve Cooper's men had the game won before the break with three fortune-laced goals - Brennan Johnson's penalty, for a handball which also triggered a red card for Albion defender Darnell Furlong, Ryan Yates' header and an outrageous strike from Jack Colback.

Substitute Sam Surridge added a late fourth on a night when Albion's own slim promotion hopes surely came to an end.

With just three games left, 12th-placed Albion trail sixth-placed Sheffield United by six points - and have five other clubs better placed ahead of them in pursuit of what looks like one remaining play-off place.
