Palace beat Glasner's Forest 3-1 as Belloumi earns Hull a 2-2 draw with unbeaten Everton

Oliver Glasner's return to Selhurst Park ended in defeat on Sunday, 11 October, as Crystal Palace fought back from an early goal down to beat his Nottingham Forest side 3-1. In the other early Premier League game, Mohamed Belloumi's equaliser earned Hull City a 2-2 draw with Everton, who remain unbeaten under David Moyes after six matches. Both games kicked off at 2pm UK time, 9pm in Malaysia, before Manchester City's 3-0 win at Liverpool.

Palace spoil Glasner's homecoming

Glasner received warm applause before kick-off from Palace fans who remember the trophies he won with the club. Forest made the perfect start when Dan Ndoye scored in the third minute.

Palace, now managed by Pierre Sage, took control as the first half went on. Daichi Kamada equalised in the 41st minute with his first Premier League goal, and Jefferson Lerma headed Palace in front deep into first-half stoppage time. Yeremy Pino settled it in the 59th minute, following up on a rebound after a VAR check, to end a run of 19 Premier League appearances without a goal.

Forest had chances to respond, but goalkeeper Walter Benitez made important saves, including stops from Liam Delap and Chris Wood.

According to Sky Sports, the win was Palace's first league victory over Forest in 14 years. It moves Palace up to 12th on seven points from six games, while Forest are 14th on five.

Hull and Everton share four second-half goals

In Hull, a goalless first half gave way to a lively second. A Brennan Johnson goal for Everton had been ruled out for offside in the 37th minute, and it was Hull who struck first when Joe Gelhardt scored in the 49th minute.

Everton responded quickly. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall headed in Ainsley Maitland-Niles' cross in the 55th minute, and Thierno Barry put the visitors ahead in the 68th after Dewsbury-Hall pounced on a loose pass. Hull refused to give in, and Belloumi drove in the equaliser in the 74th minute.

Everton created plenty, with Sky Sports counting eight big chances, five of them falling to Barry. The draw keeps their unbeaten start to the league season going, but their wait for an away league win now stretches to eight games, according to Flashscore. Hull are winless in four league matches.

Context for Everton

The result comes days after Everton's owners, The Friedkin Group, said they were open to selling a controlling stake in the club. On the pitch, Moyes' side have yet to lose, even if too many of their games are ending in draws.

What comes next

The Premier League returns on the weekend of 17-18 October after the midweek European fixtures.
