00:00Palace in their change-strip. Kick-off, there was a moment when Everecci Ezer saw

00:08Matt Sells off his line and was thinking of shooting from the centre spot.

00:12Goalkeeper spotted it and went back on his line.

00:18Katia got it back. Ezer going at Forrest here. He got to a position in front of

00:27goal between the posts, so to speak. Established international, as you would

00:32say these days. Here's Kamada. That's a go. Slightly slipping as he hit it.

00:41Ezer and then Katia. That's the sort of service that he can thrive on.

00:49In the air from Mitchell. Anderson. Making space where there seem to be none.

00:58Here's Moreno. Hasn't a doy. Chris Woods hardly had a touch yet, but he's looking for the ball

01:05in the middle if it comes across. What a run from Anderson.

01:11Well, Morgan Gibbs-White would have been proud of that.

01:14Wow. Twice he gets himself somewhere where he had no right. The initial touch from Anderson,

01:20by the way, before this was unbelievable. And then he finds himself, he plays the ball out.

01:26And when he gets the ball back again, you're thinking he can't do it again, can he?

01:30Goes past three, four players there and that almost deserved a goal. It was wonderful.

01:37Lots of passing, but this kind of situation is so important. And Chris Wood nearly

01:41comes into the back post and collects another goal to his impressive tally.

01:48Anderson with a real whip on it.

01:55Well, Woods put it wide, but he's in the right place.

01:57He's going to struggle to hold it up like Matata does,

01:59but this is what he is good at with the ball.

02:01Shooting and very nearly scoring.

02:04He's got a threat on it again. Back in by Moreno.

02:10Off the post. Well, he's getting closer and closer.

02:19Wood! Well, he got there. Any sort of pace off his right foot.

02:25And that rather sums up Chris Wood's first half.

02:27Yates, Elanga, lovely play from Forrest.

02:30But again, the ball that couldn't elude.

02:35Maxence Lacroix. Hughes into Kamadar. Here's Munoz again.

02:43Oh, it's too strong, too long.

02:45And Munoz punched the air in frustration.

02:49Here he is now and he's not closed down.

02:51He's not working hard enough to score.

02:53Apologising. Here he is now and he's not closed down.

02:56He's not working hard enough to stop the cross.

02:58And Ezer! And Kamadar!

03:02Bang in front of goal, but was offside.

03:07Well, Sells wasn't to know that, was he?

03:13Well, let's have a look at this.

03:14Slits Munoz with the ball in.

03:17And it's fortunate how it falls to Ezer.

03:20It's probably not the best save, but that second follow-up save.

03:24Look how big he makes himself, the shape, that big leg up.

03:28As I mentioned, offside, Kamadar.

03:31But Sells wasn't to know that at the time.

03:33Well, it was a very good save.

03:34Depends on Everetti, Ezer, in this situation.

03:38The Palace find themselves in.

03:39And Edinger-Kettier as well.

03:41He's clear here.

03:42Back for Hughes.

03:43Mine-blocked by Moreno.

03:50Two yellow cards already, a third one.

03:52They need to be suspended as well.

03:53Here goes Ezer from long, long range.

03:55And it's the goalkeeper and the crossbar, I think.

04:02Well, he shakes his head because he knows it's not far away.

04:05This is one off the training ground.

04:08The touch out of the feet.

04:08Look at the bend on it.

04:10Incredible.

04:10And I think you've got to be careful.

04:12Incredible.

04:13And I think you're right.

04:14Sells does get a touch on this to push it just there onto the crossbar.

04:19It's a wonderful save.

04:24Made the difference.

04:26Touch off the glove.

04:30Moreno.

04:33Drops for Wood.

04:35Yes, this one scores.

04:39With a bit of help from Dean Henderson.

04:42Well, this has happened before.

04:44This season, he's put them 1-0 up.

04:47And they haven't won any of those games.

04:50But they'll be hoping that they can put that right tonight.

04:54It's not what you call a classical Chris Wood goal.

04:58And when your luck is out, as Crystal Palace's is,

05:03this kind of thing can happen.

05:06Well, it falls to Wood wonderfully, doesn't it?

05:09And it's typical, the defending header, as you say,

05:11when your luck's out, your luck's out.

05:12But look at that from Chris Wood.

05:14We think about how good he is in the box with his heading,

05:19anticipating when the ball's going to drop in the box.

05:22But look at that for technique.

05:24Gets his knee and hip over the ball.

05:25Strikes it hard and low.

05:27Yes, there's an argument that Henderson should get to that.

05:31But because Chris Wood hits it so early,

05:34it catches Henderson out.

05:36And just like that, for all the pressure that Palace have had,

05:40Boris got up the other end and scored.

05:41Isn't that just football?

05:44His fifth goal of the season.

05:46Being stuck in the changing room normally.

05:48Here's Anderson.

05:49Lovely touch from Wood.

05:51And Henderson just about avoids some more embarrassment.

05:55Sticking out a leg.

05:56It was a good stop in the end.

05:58Starting to go one way.

06:01Henderson denied a first Premier League goal again.

06:04And he's still in the mix here in the middle.

06:07Hudson-Odoi.

06:09That would have been more out of Chris Wood's playbook.

06:14La Croix, initially, and Gay, he do well with Chris Wood.

06:18And the way he opens up there, Anderson,

06:21you think he's going to go to the right-hand side.

06:23And that's what momentarily outboxes Henderson.

06:27It's Moreno.

06:28Anderson up with him.

06:29Moreno still going.

06:31Wood wants it played through.

06:32It goes to Anderson.

06:33Instead, Wood's waiting in the middle.

06:34And the Henderson line went up for himself.

06:38Forrest's got a corner.

06:39There might have been more in that.

06:41But that is the risk that Palace are taking.

06:44A lump of stoppage time.

06:46Schlupp.

06:48In goes Mateta.

06:49Makes it happen.

06:50Palace.

06:51Comes back to Jeff Schlupp.

06:52Tries to curl it.

06:54And Sells sticks out an arm to great effect.

06:57This is really well there, Sells,

06:59because I think he will have been unsighted.

07:01Not much more that Schlupp could have done

07:03with that short backlift.

07:05It's a quick corner from Palace.

07:08Hezer.

07:10Comes out towards Lerma.

07:13Williams.

07:17And a shot.

07:19From Sosa.

07:23Aina.

07:29And it's Sells.

07:30And he cuts it out.

07:33With a chance of a headline.

07:41He's got nowhere to go at the moment.

07:44Yates did well.

07:45It breaks Forrest's way.

07:47And now, they're away here.

07:51With Jota Silva.

07:54Comes out towards Williams.

07:55And again, they're trying to score

07:57when they could have taken the ball to the corner.

07:59I mean, with that one, though,

08:00when it's sort of 3v1,

08:02you can't blame him.

08:03It doesn't matter for Nottingham Forrest.

08:06Chris Wood has scored an opening goal in a game,

08:09and he's turned out to be a winner.

08:12Which ends a sequence of draws

08:15and a win at home for Nottingham Forrest.

08:17Dean Henderson, their one-time goalkeeper,

08:20was complicit, unfortunately for him.

08:22But Wood took the shot early

08:24and got full reward for it.

08:26And they've won at home in the Premier League

08:28for the first time since April 2nd.

08:30And Oliver Glasner has to take another defeat on the chin.

08:40Forrest's won Palace 0.
