A Close Game From the Start

Second-Half Drama
The second half saw a more open game, with both teams creating chances. Forest finally broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute when Brennan Johnson slotted home from close range. Palace responded well to going behind and they were level just six minutes later. Eberechi Eze curled in a brilliant free-kick that left Henderson with no chance.
