Nottingham Forest's Ousmane Dembele scored in the 4th minute to open the scoring in the Europa League Round of 16 second leg against Fenerbahce. At the City Ground, the Turkish side secured a 3-1 victory. Kerem Akturklu scored a brace for Fenerbahce, reigniting their hopes. In the 68th minute, Calum Hudson-Odoi provided an assist and then scored himself, sealing the tie 4-2 on aggregate. Despite leading 3-0 from the first leg and facing a crucial Premier League game, manager Vitoria Pereira made six changes to his starting lineup. This risky move nearly backfired, as Forest are just two points above the relegation zone in the English Premier League.
