Perfect start for Pereira as Forest enjoy record win at Fenerbahce
- On Thursday, Vítor Pereira, Nottingham Forest coach, led Forest to a 3-0 victory at Fenerbahçe in the Europa League playoff first leg.
- Managerial turnover left Forest needing a reaction, so Pereira was hired on Sunday as Forest's fourth coach this season, replacing Sean Dyche after a 114-day spell while Forest sit 17th in the Premier League.
- Key scoring moments included Murillo scoring from a pass by Elliot Anderson with a deflection, Igor Jesus heading his seventh goal shortly before halftime, and Jesus setting up Gibbs-White for the third.
- With a 3-0 lead, Forest now control the playoff heading into the second leg at the City Ground next Thursday and gain a morale boost before hosting Liverpool on Sunday.
- In a contrasting result, Celtic suffered a 4-1 home defeat to Stuttgart in Martin O'Neill's 1,000th career game, with El Khannouss, Jamie Leweling, and Tiago Tomás scoring for the visitors.
