Oliver Glasner: "I want to say a huge thank you to the Crystal Palace supporters for a great reception. I didn't know what reception I could expect." #CPFC

Far more applause for Oliver Glasner at full-time and he bows to the Holmesdale in appreciation after returning the compliment.
More sustained applause for Palace manager Pierre Sage, however, as you would expect. #CPFC
Full-time: Palace 3-1 Nottingham Forest
A good attacking performance to take advantage of their cat-like nine lives from Forest missing so many chances.
But they must improve defensively. #CPFC
50% right!
GOAL! Palace 3-1 Forest. Pino. Wow. #CPFC
There's no doubt that Palace are really threatening when they burst forward with pace. But aside from that, it's a struggle and they're still allowing Forest far too many opportunities to create something
Not a set piece but yet again Gibbs-White can try to put a ball back in when unmarked at the back post
For the third time from a set piece, Morgan Gibbs-White is left unmarked at the back post.
This time his header back in hits the outside of the post. Then eventually a Forest player heads into the arms of Walter Benitez. #CPFC
Liam Delap has been awful. Overhits a pass to Morgan Gibbs-White. If he gets that right Forest probably equalise.
A couple of Palace fans tease Oliver Glasner as he walks off at half-time by putting up 2-1 with their fingers
Jefferson Lerma manages to break free of Morgan Gibbs-White to head in from a corner through the legs of Matz Sels.
Tyrick Mitchell's excellent volley was tipped over by Sels to give the corner away in the first place after a long throw came out to him. #CPFC
This is absolutely remarkable. Palace lead 2-1 deep into first half stoppage time! #CPFC
Goal! Palace are level after an intricate move which Daichi Kamada finishes well.
All those wasted Forest chances and it's 1-1. #CPFC
Delap absolutely has to score that but take nothing away from how well Benitez does to get up and react quickly #CPFC
Walter Benitez with a huge save to deny Liam Delap what should have been Forest's second goal. Morgan Gibbs-White lobs Benitez but the ball comes off the bar.
Delap is there to follow up but his shot from almost point-blank range is blocked as Benitez recovers to put himself in the way #CPFC
Two corners in succession Morgan Gibbs-White has been able to get free or be unmarked at the back post to put the ball back in. Palace's defending not great. #CPFC
Palace break and Khalaili plays a lovely ball in for Jorgen Strand Larsen who probably thinks he's scored but it’s well saved by Matz Sels #CPFC
Dreadful start from Palace. Three minutes in and Anan Khalaili puts a weak header back towards Walter Benitez but it's nowhere near close enough and Dan N’Doye runs onto it and slots it in.
Nottingham Forest fans sing "We've got Oli Glasner" to the tune of Glad All Over
Palace 0-1 Forest #CPFC
Plenty of applause for Oliver Glasner as he walks down past the Main Stand to the dugout.
Glad All Over playing meant that perhaps it wasn't the same as it might have been (either way) but definitely as he walked past people were clapping him. #CPFC
Palace manager Pierre Sage says Ismaila Sarr is close to signing a new contract with the club.
Says he has seen a positive change in him this week in training
Agreed with chairman Steve Parish that Sarr deserves an excellent reception
No Henderson, Tomiyasu or Mateta on Sunday #CPFC
