Pereira’s Forest Run Riot in Istanbul.

Vítor Pereira enjoyed a dream start as Nottingham Forest stormed to a 3-0 first-leg
win over Fenerbahçe S.K. in Istanbul.
Murillo marked his return from injury with a stunning opener, bursting forward from
halfway before firing into the bottom corner.
Forest struck again before the break when Morgan Gibbs-White’s flick-on from a
corner allowed Igor Jesus to head home his seventh Europa League goal of the
campaign.
Any hopes of a comeback were swiftly ended after the restart as Gibbs-White added
a third, steering in Jesus’s pass to cap a slick move.
The visitors remained in control throughout, keeping the hosts at bay to secure a
commanding advantage.
Forest now heads into the return leg at the City Ground firmly on course for the last
16.
