Nottingham Forest dominated Fenerbahçe 3-0 in the UEFA Europa League knockout playoff first leg at Istanbul's Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
Vítor Pereira, who was appointed just four days after Sean Dyche's departure, led Forest to a comprehensive victory over their previous club, breaking their three-game winless streak.
Match the timeline. 21' Murillo (1-0): The Brazilian centre-back raced forward and unleashed a low left-footed rocket into the bottom corner past Ederson; pure class! 43' Igor Jesus (2-0): Gibbs-White sent in a corner from the near post, and Jesus headed home unmarked at the back post for his sixth UEL goal of the season. 50' Morgan Gibbs-White (3-0): Jesus turned provider, squaring after Hutchinson's lofted pass; the captain faltered but slipped it under Ederson.
As a result, Forest has planned a deep UEL run, their first major European adventure since 1996. Fenerbahçe now confronts a big hurdle in closing the gap.
