Story summary

In February 2024, Oliver Glasner joined Crystal Palace and led them to their first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final. He also guided the team to a Conference League triumph in Leipzig. Despite Palace being initially denied entry into the Europa League due to a legal dispute with UEFA that demoted them to the Conference League, Glasner unexpectedly took over at Nottingham Forest just after his contract expired on June 16, 2025. This move was met with mixed reactions from Crystal Palace supporters, who were mostly grateful for his past achievements but unsure about his decision given recent tensions between the two clubs. On a matchday in late August 2025, Glasner returned to Selhurst Park as Nottingham Forest's manager and received a generally warm reception despite some negative chants towards the end of the game. The match ended with Crystal Palace winning 3-1, securing their first home Premier League victory since Glasner’s departure under new boss Pierre Sage.

🔮 It was all Forest for a lengthy spell, including a header from the unmarked Ndoye requiring an excellent reaction from Benitez to tip it over his crossbar, before Munoz, who would have wanted to do better, directed a half-volley wide.
🔮 The Republic’s ‘home’ fixture was held on neutral territory at the 4,500-seat TSC arena in Backa Topola, due to “operational challenges that could impact on the delivery of the game on home soil” according to a June Football Association of Ireland (FAI) statement.
🔮 That player, Bolton keeper Gavin Bazunu, later posted a statement on Instagram confirming he had reached a decision that it would be “wrong” to participate.
🔮 The Republic of Ireland’s controversial Nations League fixture with Israel will go ahead on Sunday after a “significant majority” of players voted to proceed following a four-hour summit on Saturday morning in Hungary.
🔮 His cross was intended for Wirtz, who could not connect under pressure, but Isak, who was lingering nearby, pounced and swept home.
🔮 Tyrick Mitchell, who scored a Premier League brace for the first time in his career, was an unlikely Palace hero, but his is a name that occasionally pops up in conversations about under-rated players who might deserve more of an England look-in.
