In the irregulars match, Crystal Palace won. In difficulty since the start of the season, the Eagles attacked the return from the break in the best possible way by beating Nottingham Forest this Sunday (3-1). Pierre Sage’s men had however conceded Dan Ndoye’s opener after a gross restart error (3rd, 0-1). Daichi Kamada equalized before the break following a lightning relay with Quinten Timber (41st, 1-1). Jefferson Lerma in turn stunned the visitors with a header from a corner (45+4th, 2-1). YĂ©remi Pino finished the job after a game of billiards in the Forest defense (59th, 3-1).
Pierre Sage will also be able to give thanks to his goalkeeper Walter Benitez, author of a miraculous save in the first period in front of Liam Delap when his team was trailing (34th). The Londoners move up to 12th in the standings, but remain behind Everton (5th) and Hull City (9th), who faced each other at the same time this afternoon. The two teams were unable to decide between themselves (2-2). Joe Gelhardt (48th) and the elusive Mohamed Belloumi scored for the Tigers (74th). Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (55th) and Frenchman Thierno Barry (68th) responded opposite.
