'Not nice': Fulham star pushes through unsettling injury

Fulham were in no mood to let an opportunity to climb away from the relegation zone go wasted against Nottingham Forest, but an unsettling injury marred their victory. 

Taking on Sean Dyche's men in front of a home crowd at Craven Cottage, Fulham's 1-0 win was forced to be stopped after just 24 minutes of action due to medical attention.

Fulham defender Joachim Andersen was the man that medics were attending too, with his finger visibly pointing in a different direction to his body.

Andersen had emerged from a tangle with rival Brazilian striker Igor Jesus when he alerted team staffers he needed medical attention.

Camera crews broadcasting to television networks across the world were quick to gravitate their focus to the interactions between others around the field as Andersen received attention.

"Look at his finger pointing in the wrong direction," ex-England keeper Robert Green said in commentary on Sky Sports.

"That is not nice for anyone."

Jesus was seen apologising to Andersen as medics pushed his finger back into place.

Still, the unsettling injury did not stop the 29-year-old from getting on with his job at Craven Cottage as he returned to the field with a strapped finger minutes later.

Fulham had several opportunities to round out the first half with a point on the scoreboard, although the side could not find the back of the net time and time again.

It was not until additional time in the first half that they found their solitary goal of the match, courtesy of a VAR review that deemed Douglas Luiz had fouled Kevin.

Fulham's Mexican international Raul Jimenez stepped up to take the penalty and found the back of the net with ease.

The goal not only saw Fulham secure three points, but also saw the Mexican join retired star Yaya Toure as one of three players who have taken 10 or more penalty shots and never missed.

Both Toure and Jimenez have gone 11 from 11 in penalty kicks, although the Fulham star does have the opportunity to go one step further and increase his statistic in the future.

Chelsea's Cole Palmer currently has scored the most penalties without missing one (12), but his record ended in March this year after he had a penalty saved against Leicester.

Fulham will return to action after the Christmas period on Sunday, December 28 when they travel to play West Ham.
