Crystal Palace secured their second Premier League victory of the season with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park. The result marked the Eagles' first-ever Premier League triumph over Forest, while former Palace manager Oliver Glasner endured a disappointing return to his old stomping ground.

The visitors opened the scoring after just three minutes following a costly error by Khalaili, whose misjudged back-header to Benitez inadvertently played in Dan Ndoye, who drove forward and slotted a low strike into the far corner.

Palace responded and leveled matters in the 41st minute. The hosts won possession in Forest's half and exchanged quick passes before Daichi Kamada converted from close range past Matz Sels following an assist from Timber.

In first-half stoppage time, Jefferson Lerma met Adam Wharton's pinpoint corner at the back post, heading through Sels' legs to make it 2-1 and complete the turnaround before the break.

The Eagles took a decisive step towards the points in the 59th minute when Yeremy Pino tapped home the rebound after Sels had parried an initial effort from Larsen.
