Crystal Palace took the lead with a penalty goal by Eze in the 60th minute, which was his tenth goal of the season in all competitions. However, Nottingham Forest quickly equalized just four minutes later when a shot by Neco Williams was deflected by Murillo and scored by Dean Henderson.

Eze expressed his team's respect for their opponents but felt that they had created enough chances to win the game. He praised his teammates for their performance, saying they were positive and showed great spirit after a tough game the previous week.

Crystal Palace had some time off before this game, but they were able to bounce back strongly. Eze believes this performance was important for the team's morale and recovery.
