Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez scored doubles as Fulham heaped the pressure on Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper with a 5-0 Premier League victory at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Tom Cairney also found the net to ensure the Cottagers bounced back from their late disappointment at Anfield on Sunday and condemned struggling Forest to a fourth consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n

A scrappy opening period offered little until Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez produced a quality pass into the feet of Divock Origi, who tested Bernd Leno from range in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n

Fulham took time to warm up after Sunday\u2019s 4-3 agonising defeat at Liverpool. Andreas Pereira almost opened the scoring in the 26th minute.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian stood over a set-piece and used a whipped technique which narrowly missed the inside of Odysseas Vlachodimos\u2019 post.<\/p>\n

And not long after Fulham converted a chance to take a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute.<\/p>\n

Willian produced a moment of genius when he jinked inside onto his right foot and produced a perfect back-post cross to Iwobi, who avoided his marker to tap home from close range.<\/p>\n

The Cottagers had the bit between their teeth and scored a second in the 34th minute.<\/p>\n

A well-timed challenge in midfield by Joao Palhinha saw Iwobi combine with Pereira before he slipped in Jimenez and the striker rifled his effort into the top corner.<\/p>\n

The Mexican, who had struggled for goals earlier in the season, looked full of confidence.<\/p>\n

On the stroke of half-time Iwobi nearly grabbed a second when he did well to turn on the edge of the box before producing a curled effort from range which almost nestled into the top corner.<\/p>\n

Forest forward Anthony Elanga ran the ball out of play in the 51st minute which summed up a dull showing from the visitors.<\/p>\n

Iwobi\u2019s dominating performance got even better when the Nigeria international produced a dangerous cross which was slightly too high for the rising Jimenez.<\/p>\n

But moments later, in the 54th minute, Jimenez took his chance and grabbed his second of the match.<\/p>\n

The creative Pereira found Jimenez and he brought it down on his chest and rounded Vlachodimos before finishing with a deft backheel into the empty net.<\/p>\n

Fulham grabbed a fourth through Iwobi after 73 minutes.<\/p>\n

Harry Wilson found space down the byline and his cutback found the winger who finished first time to grab his brace.<\/p>\n

Cairney got in on the action to make it 5-0 after 86 minutes.<\/p>\n

The skipper wandered into acres of space through the middle of Forest\u2019s backline and calmly stroked home.<\/p>\n
