OR Nottingham Forest she managed even in her 8th matchday Premier League to reach the first positive result at home for the current season. One goal made the difference in the impressive encounter with Crystal Palace at the City Ground, since it might not have been the most… commercial game for a Monday night, but the two teams more than compensated those who watched their match.
Awesome first 25 minutes with beams on either side from Yates and Nketia, big missed chances from Wood, efforts from Palace, but evidence from Forest for the second best defensive performance in the League so far.
In the 65th minute, Wood it was he who would eventually score the goal that gave Nuno Santo all the points. Chalobah found the tall striker with a header and his one-piece finish beat Henderson who misjudged the trajectory of the ball badly for 1-0.
THE Sells at home to Forest he made sure to keep the lead for his side when they were seriously threatened with a possible equalizer and for the first time this year the crowd left the City Ground with a smile of victory.
