Crystal Palace delivered a stunning comeback to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park, turning around a match that started with the visitors in control. The defeat marked a disappointing return for Oliver Glasner, who was warmly applauded before kick-off but faced chants from the crowd as the game unfolded.

Initially, Forest took the lead in the 3rd minute when Anan Khalaili's misdirected header fell to Ndoye, who finished expertly. Forest's early dominance saw several close calls, including a crossbar hit from Morgan Gibbs-White and critical saves from Walter Benítez to deny Liam Delap and Chris Wood.

However, the tide turned in the first half as Daichi Kamada netted his first Premier League goal in the 41st minute, leveling the score. Moments later, in first-half stoppage time, Jefferson Lerma scored with a header, giving Palace a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Yeremy Pino sealed the victory in the 59th minute, scoring from a rebound after a save from Matz Sels, ending a 19-match goal drought. The win not only ended Palace's 14-year wait for a league victory over Forest but also provided a much-needed boost to Pierre Sage's side, lifting them to 12th in the Premier League with seven points from six games.

The match statistics highlighted Palace's resilience:

• 3 Goals for Palace: Kamada (41'), Lerma (45+4'), Pino (59')
• 1 Goal for Forest: Ndoye (3')
• Multiple key saves by Benítez, ensuring Palace maintained their lead.

As the final whistle blew, the atmosphere shifted dramatically, illustrating the unpredictable nature of football and the fleeting sentiment of fans.
