In a game of wildly differing halves, Crystal Palace lost 1-0 to Championship club Nottingham Forest this evening as Albert Adomah netted for the home side to ensure victory despite a battling second half onslaught from the Eagles.
Sporting their striking black away kit, Palace’s offensive charges tonight were equally as eye-catching as their attire and saw the south Londoners pepper the host’s goal with a collection of tantalising efforts.
Until its first goal, however, the game took time to warm up and initially neither side tested the other too keenly. On balance, Forest looked the dominant of the two but Wayne Hennessey was scarcely troubled between the sticks for his first 20 minutes of action.
