00:00Just clear of the relegation zone, while Fenerbahce played out a five-goal thriller on the north coast of Turkey
00:06at Trabzonspor.
00:07Spiña is back in defence after serving a European suspension, while Archie Brown returns to the bench after recovering from
00:12a toe ligament injury.
00:14No such charge, it's two changes from the last game eight days ago.
00:17Murillo is back in defence after missing the last two games with a calf injury.
00:22Listen to the noise around this place.
00:24The first ever meeting of Fenerbahce in Nottingham Forest comes at a critical point.
00:28Two games, two legs, and only one of these teams will go through to the round.
00:32Fenerbahce with another set-piece opportunity.
00:35Hutchinson towards Milenkovic, out by Skriña.
00:41Looping one by Anderson.
00:43Edison comes.
00:45Hudson-Odoi, looping.
00:47They're not dropping enough.
00:48There's 50,000 here tonight, and the vast majority of them making a lot of noise right at this moment.
00:55That's a good ball in and a free header as well.
01:02That was a little bit careless.
01:05Shaleef, there were a lot of clubs after his signature in January when they knew that he was available.
01:12Murillo hits that one and finds the corner.
01:16What a goal for Nottingham Forest.
01:29Only his second goal this season, and he's scored at two iconic stadiums.
01:34He's the first at Anfield against Liverpool, and here at the Shuklu Salacolu against Fenerbahce.
01:42The Vitor Pereira era is off and running.
01:46In unlikely circumstances, the centre-half running and running.
01:53This is what he's got in his locker, so powerful.
01:56He flicks there off the Achilles of Skriña, and maybe picked up pace as it went beyond the goalkeeper, Edison.
02:05Williams to Hudson-Odoi.
02:09It's a man down in the middle.
02:11Meanwhile, Igor Jesus is motoring.
02:14Igor Jesus, great feet.
02:16And it was nearly a Brazilian double.
02:19It's the Premier League team here.
02:21You have the lead and want to extend it.
02:24Nico Williams will try and do that.
02:26Hits his own man.
02:27And over by Igor Jesus.
02:31Anderson is going to take it.
02:34This is their seventh for the first half.
02:39They get the flick, it's in, it's 2-0.
02:43And it's their Europa League hitman.
02:45Eagles Jesus again.
02:53Well, that really will upset things inside this stadium.
02:57Whose fans thought they were wronged by not having a penalty a couple of minutes ago.
03:01And now it's their former head coach, Vitor Pereira, in his first game in charge.
03:08And has seen his side take a two-goal advantage.
03:13Gibbs-White with the flick and a great climb by the Brazilian.
03:21That's now seven goals in the Europa League this season.
03:25It's going to be the spin is for the first half.
03:28Murillo, who got the scoring started.
03:31Gibbs-White.
03:33Flashes one past the upright.
03:39Will be interesting to see Forrest's approach after half-time as to whether they go for broke and get more
03:45goals.
03:45They might have another before the first half is done.
03:47Hutchinson.
03:48Hutchinson.
03:55Well, they are beaming right now.
03:57Looking full of confidence, full of beans.
04:02Fenerbahce just wants to get back inside and hear that half-time whistle.
04:16And there is the half-time whistle.
04:19The first half dominated by the visiting side.
04:22All game in the Super Cup final against Galatasaray.
04:28So they've changed two down their left side.
04:32I'm hoping there's some kind of response here at Fenerbahce.
04:36Domenico Tedesco was not happy in the first half.
04:41And they might have a great start to the second.
04:43Because already they've had a shot.
04:46And it's Sharif who sees his effort tipped over for a corner by Ortega.
04:52Just about stayed onside as well.
04:54Ainder playing him on.
04:56Set up nicely.
04:58That's it.
04:59A multiple title winner in England with Manchester City.
05:06Hudson-Odoi.
05:09Nice pick out of Gibbs-White.
05:11Straight to Edison.
05:12Who does really well to react and pick up the loose ball.
05:16It's possibly still there for Fenerbahce.
05:19But as they conceded a third goal, it might have been all over.
05:35Now, here goes Jesus.
05:37And Gibbs-White again.
05:39This time it's in.
05:40It's 3-0.
05:42It's 3-0.
05:44Fenerbahce for Tests.
05:47But it's the Nottingham Forest talisman who's done it.
05:53Three goals.
05:54Three goal scorers.
05:56And maybe the round of 16 awaits already.
06:02Well, it was a hopeful lump forward.
06:05Gibbs-White started the move and then went again.
06:09Although, was Igor-Jesus onside or not?
06:13A question mark about Gibbs-White after that as well.
06:16Was he ahead of the ball?
06:19A couple of questions here for Bia-Lucas.
06:23You can see the challenge coming there from Juksek.
06:32Semedo.
06:34Oh, that's a nonchalant touch on there.
06:37Something clever by Marco Asensio.
06:44And Dewey.
06:45Madison came, didn't cover himself in glory.
06:48It's better that time to tip it over.
06:50It's another corner.
07:00The two giants of this footballing hotbed of a city
07:04in continental competition.
07:06Galatas try 5-2 winners against Juventus,
07:08but a heavy home defeat here for Fenerbahce.
07:11And Dominguez should have made it four.
07:15Tonight in their own penalty area.
07:22Lacking in communication.
07:25Nottingham Forest really should have made them pay.
07:35James got right.
07:37Even if it is a three and a half hour journey,
07:40it will be pretty satisfactory for them.
07:44Nico Williams.
07:45Still time for a fourth.
07:47And he nearly got it.
07:48Smart save by Edison.
07:52The Brazilian was going one way,
07:54but was smartly backed down to tip it behind.
08:02Halfway through, but Nottingham Forest
08:04almost in the next round already, you have to say.
08:07With a home leg to come in England next week.
08:09Here tonight on his return to Fenerbahce.
08:12Thank you very much.
