Crystal Palace overturned an early deficit to defeat Nottingham Forest 3–1, while Hull City fought back to earn a 2–2 draw against Everton in another eventful round of Premier League action.

Daichi Kamada, Jefferson Lerma and Yeremy Pino scored for Palace after Dan Ndoye had given Forest the lead at Selhurst Park. At the MKM Stadium, Mohamed Belloumi’s late equaliser denied Everton victory after the visitors had recovered from a first-half deficit to lead 2–1.

Palace Turn Forest’s Early Lead Into Defeat

Nottingham Forest made a quick start at Selhurst Park, with Dan Ndoye putting the visitors ahead in the third minute. The forward finished neatly against his former club, giving Forest an early advantage as Oliver Glasner returned to face Crystal Palace.

Forest threatened to extend their lead during the first half. Liam Delap came close, but Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez produced an important save from close range to keep the hosts within reach of the contest.

Palace gradually turned the match around before the interval. Kamada restored parity four minutes before half-time, finishing a well-worked move to register his first Premier League goal.

The turnaround continued in first-half stoppage time when Lerma headed Palace in front. What had begun as a promising afternoon for Forest had become a difficult recovery task by the break.

Pino then increased Palace’s advantage in the second half, firing into the bottom corner to make it 3–1 and put the result beyond Forest’s reach.

Benitez remained important to the hosts’ defensive effort, producing another late save to deny substitute Chris Wood and prevent Forest from building momentum for a comeback.

Glasner Faces Palace Supporters After Defeat

The result gave Palace a victory over their former manager, whose return attracted attention from the home supporters.

Glasner left Crystal Palace at the end of last season after leading the club to FA Cup and Conference League success. Palace fans taunted him during the match following Pino’s goal.

Despite Forest’s early breakthrough, Palace’s three goals turned the contest in their favour. The win lifted the hosts to 12th in the Premier League table and marked their second victory of the season, while Forest dropped to 14th.

Hull City Deny Everton With Belloumi’s Late Equaliser

Hull City preserved their unbeaten home record by coming from behind to draw 2–2 with Everton at the MKM Stadium.

The hosts took the lead in the 43rd minute after Sorba Thomas intercepted a misplaced pass from Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Joe Gelhardt capitalised on the opportunity, slipping the ball past Jordan Pickford to put Hull ahead.

Everton responded before half-time. Maitland-Niles supplied the cross, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall headed home at the back post to bring the visitors level.

Dewsbury-Hall then helped Everton move in front in the 68th minute. After Thomas lost possession, the midfielder set up Thierno Barry, who finished confidently to give the visitors a 2–1 lead.

Hull refused to let the game slip away. With 16 minutes remaining, Belloumi fired past Pickford after meeting Elliot Stroud’s cut-back, restoring parity and securing a point for the hosts.

The Algeria international had started on the bench after returning from international duty, having scored for his country on Tuesday.

What the Results Mean for the Premier League Table

Palace’s victory brought their second win of the season and moved them to 12th, while Forest’s defeat left them in 14th place.

Hull, meanwhile, missed the opportunity to break into the Premier League’s top four but increased their points tally to nine from six matches. Their record at home remained unbeaten, with two wins and three draws recorded across their six league matches.

Both games featured teams responding to setbacks, but the outcomes differed: Palace completed their comeback to claim all three points, while Hull needed Belloumi’s late intervention to secure a draw.
