Fulham winger Manor Solomon says he is beginning to "enjoy football again" after scoring his first goal for the club in the Cottagers' victory over Nottingham Forest.

The 23-year-old Israel international joined Marco Silva's team last July after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Solomon suffered a knee injury in a behind-closed-doors game in August - just days after making his Fulham debut - but returned to competitive action last month.

He told BBC Match of the Day: "2022 was the most difficult year of my life by far, starting with war in Ukraine and then signing for Fulham but getting injured.

"I'm happy that this year I'm starting to play and enjoy football again. When the ball went in, all the things I've been dealing with came over my mind."
