Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
That's it here in Nottingham and the points are shared! What an encounter at the bottom of the table that turned out to be! Forest will be frustrated that they couldn't make good on a number of excellent passing moves, especially in the first half. However, they showed excellent fighting spirit to get back on terms after Crystal Palace's thunderous opener on 11 minutes. It was a Lerma-Eze-Mateta combo that had Forest seeing stars and the latter sent the ball rocketing into the top-left corner to round off a slick move and his fourth goal in five games. After this, things could've got worse for the hosts as Sels was called into action before the break - denying Eze from close range. Luckily though, Forest and Wood finally found their feet in this one - or should I say head? The Kiwi nodded a lofting effort home over Henderson following a elite cross from Gibbs-White. The nature of this game was illustrated dramatically with more key stops from Sels, numerous punches away from Henderson, and Williams heading onto his own post late on, yet the honours somehow stayed even. Forest now look to eat into their points deduction further as they prepare for Tuesday's visit of Fulham. Palace however, get ready for a trip to Bournemouth as they fight their own, much quieter relegation concerns. Thanks for joining us today reader! Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

FULL-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-1 CRYSTAL PALACE
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Hudson-Odoi is wide on the left! Yet he agonisingly squanders the chance to cross and it flies way too high over the back post. A dismal end to a brilliant contest...

We're into the final minute of stoppage time here... can either side snatch it? Gibbs-White is trying to pull the strings but Palace are resolute!

Mitchell looks for Mateta with a low ball from the left side! Schlupp feeds the young wing-back well, yet the following pass is less than kind for the striker. It's way too far ahead, and now the experience of Clyne looks to be emerging to try and make an impact here.

Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Forest have taken a breath and worked it forward. Their attacking impetus earns a corner and Gibbs-White curls it from the left. As he has done consistently, Henderson claws the cross away from trouble.

OFF THE POST! The resulting corner flies in from the left and Munoz is a menacing presence in the six-yard box. It glances off him and then slides off Williams' head and across to the right post! Hughes then smashes it over from the edge. What a let off for the hosts!
