Forest inflict more misery on poor Palace

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood profited from an error by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson to give his side a narrow 1-0 Premier League win on Monday that leaves the visitors still without a victory this campaign.

Forest led 20 minutes into the second half when Wood’s low strike from 25 yards beat Henderson at his near post, the latter getting a weak hand to the ball as it squirmed past him and into the net.

Palace twice hit the woodwork but in truth created little in a game that pitted the second best defense in the league against its worst attack, with the London club managing a paltry five goals in their eight games to date.
