As the night wore on, a one-man show was staged in the Premier League in the early hours of Tuesday morning (22nd), with Nottingham Forest edging out Crystal Palace by a slim 1-0 margin at home. It was a game in which both sides displayed great accuracy in shooting as if they were in a shooting contest. Under the watchful eye of Casley, the interim manager of the national team, Crystal Palace's goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, accidentally became the "scorer".
The first half was a back-and-forth affair, with both sides switching quickly between offense and defense. Crystal Palace striker Nikitia's long range shot hit the crossbar, and Nottingham Forest's Keith Livett also went close with a header. It wasn't until the 65th minute that Keith Livett's shot from outside the box, which Dean Henderson could have easily saved, was misjudged and allowed to go past the post. Crystal Palace fought back late in the game but were unable to turn the game around as Nottingham Forest sealed a 1-0 win.
Looking back at last week, 27-year-old Teon Henderson had represented England in the European Union. After a gap of four years, he was once again in action. However, when he returned to the league, he made a mistake in front of Carsley. It is yet to be seen whether the new coach Ducao, who will take over next January, will appreciate his performance. After the match, the Crystal Palace leader said, "Dean Henderson wanted to apologize, but I don't agree because I don't want to blame anyone. We had a lot of great saves last season and this season, so I don't need to apologize for any mistakes."
