Crystal Palace defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1 in a Premier League match at Selhurst Park on Sunday. Dan Ndoye scored early for Forest, but Daichi Kamada equalized just before halftime with his first Premier League goal. Jefferson Lerma and Yeremy Pino then scored to secure the victory for Crystal Palace. The game marked Pierre Sage’s first home league win as Crystal Palace's new manager following Oliver Glasner’s controversial move to Nottingham Forest amid legal tensions between the clubs.

Story summary
In February 2024, Oliver Glasner joined Crystal Palace and led them to their first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final. He also guided the team to a Conference League triumph in Leipzig. Despite Palace being initially denied entry into the Europa League due to a legal dispute with UEFA that demoted them to the Conference League, Glasner unexpectedly took over at Nottingham Forest just after his contract expired on June 16, 2025. This move was met with mixed reactions from Crystal Palace supporters, who were mostly grateful for his past achievements but unsure about his decision given recent tensions between the two clubs. On a matchday in late August 2025, Glasner returned to Selhurst Park as Nottingham Forest's manager and received a generally warm reception despite some negative chants towards the end of the game. The match ended with Crystal Palace winning 3-1, securing their first home Premier League victory since Glasner’s departure under new boss Pierre Sage.

Dan Ndoye opened the scoring in the third minute of what was largely a dominant first half for the visitors, who came to rue their wasted chances when Daichi Kamada drew the sides level with his first Premier League goal in the 41st minute.

Glasner’s decision to join Forest in the wake of tension between the clubs – sparked by the legal fallout from Palace’s demotion to the Conference League before the 2025-26 season – came as a surprise to many.

The Forest boss, and returning right-back Daniel Munoz, were nevertheless greeted warmly on Sunday, save a “you’re getting sacked in the morning” chant minutes before the final whistle.
asserted
you → return → whistle
The opening goal was a poor one for Palace to concede, the product of an easily-intercepted Anan Khalaili header intended for Eagles goalkeeper Walter Benitez, filling in again for injured captain Dean Henderson.
asserted
Palace → concede → Henderson
Instead, Ndoye accepted the gift and gave Benitez no chance when he fired into the far corner.
asserted
he → accept → corner
Jorgen Strand Larsen drew an alert Matz Sels save when he tried to prod in an equaliser five minutes later, then had a follow-up blocked by an outstretched Murillo, while Quinten Timber failed to control an effort just after the 10th minute.
asserted
Timber → draw → minute
It was all Forest for a lengthy spell, including a header from the unmarked Ndoye requiring an excellent reaction from Benitez to tip it over his crossbar, before Munoz, who would have wanted to do better, directed a half-volley wide.
asserted
who → include → volley
Morgan Gibbs-White struck the underside of the crossbar with 10 minutes remaining in the half and Liam Delap was denied on the rebound after Benitez managed to scramble his body in the path of his volley from point-blank range.
asserted
Benitez → strike → range
Those spurned opportunities would come back to haunt Forest as Kamada equalised after some good link-up play from the hosts, who worked the ball to Strand Larsen.
asserted
who → spurn → Larsen
He picked out Timber, who found Kamada with a backheel to slot in the leveller – confirmed by a VAR check – in the 41st minute.
asserted
who → pick → minute
An unmarked Tyrick Mitchell nearly fired the hosts in front early in first-half added time with an effort from distance, tipped over by Sels, before Lerma did give Palace the lead.
asserted
Lerma → fire → lead
It came from a corner and an ensuing scramble from Adam Wharton’s cross, which was met by the Colombian who planted the ball through a crowd between the legs of the Forest keeper.
asserted
who → come → keeper
There was a Ndoye miss before the break, another squandered chance the visitors would come to regret when Pino extended Palace’s lead in the 59th minute.
asserted
Pino → be → minute
Sels had, moments before, saved a Strand Larsen effort and the ball fell favourably for the Spain international, who prodded it home – a goal also upheld by VAR.
