Premier League: Nottingham Forest Sees Champions League Slip Away

In the continuation of the 35th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace faced Nottingham Forest. Maxence Lacroix quickly seized a lucky rebound in the box after a clearance, evaded a defender, but saw his shot skim past the right post (5'). Daniel Muñoz missed a great opportunity after receiving a precise cross; his shot towards the right corner lacked power and was saved by the goalkeeper (35'). Shortly after, Anthony Elanga unleashed an instant shot in the box, but Dean Henderson made a fantastic save to his left (44').

Upon returning from halftime, Matz Sels made a brilliant stop on a shot from Ismaila Sarr, who had found space in the box and aimed for the left side of the goal (51'). Soon after, Chris Wood received a nice pass in the box and was in a position to score, but his shot was blocked by a defender (52'). The Eagles' pressure finally paid off: at the hour mark, a penalty was awarded to Crystal Palace following a VAR intervention. Eberechi Eze took the penalty and calmly converted it to open the scoring (1-0, 60'). However, Nottingham responded quickly: Neco Williams' shot, deflected by teammate Murillo, deceived the goalkeeper and allowed the visitors to equalize (1-1, 64'). In added time, Eddie Nketiah thought he had secured victory for Crystal Palace, but his goal was disallowed for offside (90+2'). The final score was one goal apiece.

At the end of this 35th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace remains in 12th place, while Nottingham Forest occupies 6th place.
