Africa-Press – Lesotho. Super Eagles defender Ola Aina played full time as Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten starts to the 2025/26 Premier League season after playing out a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for Palace in the 37th minute with a composed first-time finish, marking the club’s first game since the departure of star midfielder Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

Forest responded early in the second half as Callum Hudson-Odoi struck in the 57th minute, ensuring Nuno Espirito Santo’s side avoided defeat despite ongoing speculation over the manager’s future.

Both sides had opportunities to snatch all three points in stoppage time, with Igor Jesus and Omari Hutchinson going close for the visitors.

The result leaves Forest in fourth place on four points from two games, while Oliver Glasner’s Palace sit 13th with two points.
