Crystal Palace secured a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, but a question lingered regarding who scored the decisive goal. Initially, the Premier League credited Israeli player Anan Khalaili with the goal. However, after a review, the league initially awarded the goal to Jefferson Lerma, who had headed the ball in from a corner. The ball had deflected off Khalaili on its way to the net.
Following further deliberation and video analysis, the Premier League reversed its decision and correctly attributed the goal to Lerma. This process was undertaken without goal-line technology, which is not used in the Premier League, unlike in the World Cup, following a controversy in the Manchester derby. The extended video review ultimately led to the correct attribution of the goal.
