LONDON: Felix Magath’s position as manager of Fulham looks more fragile than ever after the Cottagers collapsed to a 5-3 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Championship on Wednesday.
Fulham recovered from two goals down to lead 3-2 at the City Ground thanks to a brace from £11 million summer signing Ross McCormack either side of a strike by Hugo Rodallega.
However, Michail Antonio equalised with 13 minutes left before Britt Assombalonga completed his hat-trick and Jamie Paterson completed the turnaround for Forest, who go back to the top of the table and remain unbeaten.
Fulham, in contrast, remain rooted to the foot of the table with just one point to their name seven games into the season.
German manager Magath was heckled by Fulham fans after their 3-0 defeat to Reading at the weekend and the latest loss leaves the former Bayern Munich boss in an increasingly difficult position.
The Fulham manager sat motionless by the dugout as chants of “Magath out” rang out from the small pocket of Cottagers supporters during Wednesday’s game.
