Nottingham Forest took a huge step towards the last 16 of the Europa League after they defeated Fenerbahce 3-0 in the first leg of their play-off tie.

Goals from Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White secured a winning start to life as Forest boss for Vitor Pereira, who was even able to rest key players with plenty of time to go in Turkiye.

Shortly after Mert Muldur headed over the target for Fenerbahce, Murillo opened the scoring in stunning fashion. He dribbled through the opposition defence before firing into the bottom-right corner from distance in the 21st minute.
