Palace Come From Behind to Beat Glasner's Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace came from a goal down to beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Sunday, October 11. It was the first return to Selhurst Park for Oliver Glasner, who left Palace in the summer and now manages Forest. It was also Palace's first home win of the season.

Forest took the lead after just three minutes through Dilane Ndoye. Palace were second best for much of the first half hour, but turned the match around before the break. Daichi Kamada equalised in the 41st minute from a Quentin Timber assist, after a VAR check. It was his first Premier League goal, in his 68th appearance for the club. He is only the second Asian player to score for Palace in the league after Lee Chung-Yong in December 2015.

Jefferson Lerma then put Palace ahead in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time, set up by Adam Wharton. Yéremy Pino made it 3-1 in the 59th minute. It was his first goal after 19 Premier League matches without scoring.

Forest had more possession and nearly twice as many shots, but could not find a way back. Ismaïla Sarr went down in the box in the final seconds and wanted a penalty, but none was given. Murillo was booked for dissent after the final whistle. Palace could have added a fourth when Chris Richards headed wide from a Wharton corner.

The result lifts Palace to 12th with seven points from six games, while Forest are 14th with five. Palace have now scored three or more goals in two of their last four league matches, as many as they managed in their previous 37 league games combined. They are playing under Pierre Sage, who has rediscovered some of the attacking spark that went missing in Glasner's final months in charge.
