Crystal Palace produced a stunning comeback to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-1 and ruin Oliver Glasner’s return to Selhurst Park. The Eagles found themselves behind early on but rallied brilliantly with goals from Daichi Kamada, Jefferson Lerma, and Yeremy Pino to secure a vital Premier League victory and leave their former manager empty-handed on a dramatic afternoon.
Nottingham Forest capitalised on a defensive error to take an early lead just three minutes into the match. Anan Khalaili misjudged a header, allowing Dan Ndoye to slot the ball past Walter Benítez. However, Crystal Palace refused to crumble. The hosts relied on Benítez to produce a string of superb saves to keep them in the contest. Pierre Sage saw his team gradually take control of the game, setting the stage for a dramatic shift in momentum before the half-time whistle.
