VAR Robs Ndoye as Forest and Fulham Share Stalemate
Nottingham Forest and Fulham played out a frustrating 0-0 draw at the City Ground, with VAR stealing the headlines on a tense Sunday afternoon. The closest either side came to a goal was a moment that left the home crowd in disbelief.
Dan Ndoye thought he had broken the deadlock in the 65th minute, firing home and sending the City Ground into raptures. But the Swiss forward's celebrations were cut brutally short as VAR ruled him offside by the thinnest of margins.
Chances were scarce throughout, with Forest managing just two shots on target and Fulham failing to register even one. It was a cagey affair that never truly sparked into life beyond that controversial moment.
The point nudges Vitor Pereira's Forest back out of the bottom three after briefly slipping into the relegation zone. They sit 17th on 29 points, level with West Ham. Fulham drop to 12th after Newcastle leapfrogged them with a win over Chelsea.
