Crystal Palace clinched their first Premier League home victory under manager Pierre Sage, overcoming Nottingham Forest in a match that saw former Palace boss Oliver Glasner return to Selhurst Park. Glasner, now head coach for Forest, was greeted warmly by home fans despite the ongoing dispute between the clubs.
Forest initially took the lead in the third minute through Dan Ndoye. However, Crystal Palace's Walter Benítez made crucial saves, inspiring a comeback. Daichi Kamada equalised with his first Premier League goal in his 68th appearance, a player who previously won the Europa League under Glasner at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Jefferson Lerma then bundled home a second goal for Palace just before half-time, followed by Yéremy Pino wrapping up the points. The result led to chants directed at Glasner, whose team capitulated after conceding the equaliser.
