  • Nottingham Forest suffered a 3-2 Europa League defeat to Midtjylland in their first home European match in nearly three decades.
  • The loss extended new manager Ange Postecoglou's winless streak to 22 days and six matches, making him the first permanent manager in 100 years to fail to secure a victory in his initial six games.
