Palace Come From Behind to Beat Forest 3-1 and Spoil Glasner's Selhurst Return
Crystal Palace recovered from an early Dan Ndoye strike to beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park, ruining Oliver Glasner's first trip back to his former club as Forest manager.
Oliver Glasner's homecoming to Selhurst Park turned into a nightmare as Crystal Palace fought back from an early deficit to beat his Nottingham Forest side 3-1 in the Premier League on Sunday. Forest struck first through Dan Ndoye inside three minutes after an error from Anan Khalaili, and the visitors were dominant for long stretches of the first half. Morgan Gibbs-White crashed an effort off the crossbar and Liam Delap wasted two golden chances, but Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez kept the hosts in it. Against the run of play, Daichi Kamada prodded home an equaliser five minutes before the break. Then, right at the end of the half, Jefferson Lerma bundled in from a corner to complete a stunning turnaround and give Palace the lead at the interval. Yeremy Pino settled matters just before the hour mark, finishing calmly to make it 3-1 and ensure a miserable reunion for Glasner, who led Palace to their first major trophies, including the FA Cup in 2025 and the Conference League in 2026, before leaving in the summer. The victory lifts Palace above Forest into 12th place, while the visitors drop to 14th with only one win from their opening six league matches.
