Late Murillo Strike Sends Shockwaves Through Champions League Race in Palace vs Forest Thriller
Palace were almost the architects of their own downfall after 17 minutes with Tyrick Mitchell and Dean Henderson getting in a muddle and the goalkeeper having to use his feet to divert the ball to a position from which Maxence Lacroix could complete the clearance.
Mitchell nearly redeemed himself after 35 minutes with a run down the left and cross that picked out Daniel Munoz. The Colombian fired in a volley that was well saved low down by Matz Sels.
Forest, as is now customary, were content to sit in and play on the counter but it was a tactic that nearly reaped its rewards a minute before half-time. A swift break from Nicolas Dominguez and a clever flick from Chris Wood enabled Anthony Elanga to find space in the Palace area but his shot was well saved by Henderson.
