Late Murillo Strike Sends Shockwaves Through Champions League Race in Palace vs Forest Thriller
Nottingham Forest showed resilience and grit at Selhurst Park, clawing back from a penalty concession to snag a vital point that keeps their Champions League ambitions very much alive. Down a goal thanks to Eberechi Eze’s composed spot-kick midway through the second half, Forest didn’t fold under pressure. Instead, Murillo’s ingenious flick leveled the score not long after, quelling Palace’s late surge and preserving Forest’s hold on sixth place, just shy of Newcastle and Chelsea by two points. It wasn’t a classic thriller by any means—but it was the kind of hard-fought point you remember come the business end of the season. For those following the relentless chase for Europe’s elite competition spots, this stalemate is yet another twist in the tale.
Nottingham Forest came from behind to earn a point at Crystal Palace that maintains their challenge for a place in next season’s Champions League.
