CRYSTAL PALACE DEFEAT NOTTINGHAM FOREST 3-1 AT SELHURST PARK

Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park, recording their first league win of the season under manager Pierre Sage, according to reports of the match. Forest took an early lead before Palace scored three times to turn the game around, reports said. The result marked a return to Selhurst Park for Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner, who previously worked at Crystal Palace before taking charge of Forest. Reports described Glasner's return to the ground as a difficult one, ending in defeat for his side. Coverage of the match focused heavily on the outcome for both managers involved.

Forest's £50 million signing Liam Delap was reported to have struggled for a clinical touch during the match, failing to convert chances as his side surrendered their early advantage. Palace's comeback saw them score three goals after going behind, according to accounts of the game. The win ended a run without a league victory for Palace this season, reports said, with Sage's side securing the points at home. Forest, by contrast, left south London having led the match before conceding three times.

The result is reported as significant for both clubs' early-season form, giving Palace their first win while leaving Forest without a victory from the fixture. Glasner's return to a ground with which he was previously associated drew particular attention in coverage of the match. Reports highlighted Delap's missed opportunities as a point of concern for Forest following the defeat. No further details of Palace's or Forest's next fixtures were given in the reports of this match.
