Palace Earn Draw at Chelsea, Nottingham Clinches Spot in Starting Lineup
In today’s Premier League action, Nottingham Forest triumphed over Brentford with a score of 3-1 at their home ground.
Chris Wood was the standout player for the home team, netting twice—first in the fifth minute and again in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half. Additionally, Dan Ndoje contributed with a goal in the 42nd minute.
Brentford managed to score one goal, courtesy of Igor Thiago, who converted a penalty in the 78th minute.
Looking ahead to the second round, Nottingham Forest will face Crystal Palace away, while Brentford will host Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, in the London derby at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Crystal Palace ended in a goalless 0-0 draw.
A key moment came in the 13th minute when a potential goal from a free kick taken by Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze was ruled out after VAR intervention. The goal was disallowed because Eze’s teammate, Mark Gaye, was positioned too close to the wall at the time of the shot.
In the upcoming second round, Chelsea will travel to West Ham for their match.
