Commentary
Pino has now ended a run of 19 Premier League appearances without a goal, since netting against Sunderland in January. The Spaniard's strike also means Palace have scored three or more times in two of their last four league games, which is as often as across their 37 Premier League matches prior.
STRAND LARSEN ALMOST MAKES IT FOUR!! What a turnaround. Palace are threatening to run away with this now as Wharton picks out Pino, who then nods the ball across the Forest box to find Strand Larsen. He then shoots with his left from around 10 yards out, but the effort is a tame one, and Sels is able to get down and make a save.

Pino is subsequently booked for lifting his shirt during the celebrations.

OH MY WORD!! PALACE HAVE A THIRD!! Wow. Forest somehow find themselves 3-1 down as Pino bags another for the home side. It's incredibly scruffy defending from the visitors as Timber's pass deflects into the path of Strand Larsen, who is denied by a smart Sels save. The ball then spills to Pino, who has the simple task of slotting it home with his right foot. No idea how, but Forest now have a mountain to climb!
The fact there's only been three goals scored in this game is astounding. Both sides could easily have AT LEAST a couple more to their name.
INCREDIBLE SAVE FROM SELS!! Palace almost punish Forest again as Lerma rises to meet Pino's cross into the box. Lerma makes decent contact with the ball as he tries to nod it across goal, but Sels somehow gets down to get a hand to it, and the chance passes the home side by. What a game this has been so far!
