Crystal Palace secured a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in a Premier League match on Sunday, but the credit for the go-ahead goal sparked confusion. Initially, the goal scored just before halftime was attributed to Anan Khalaily. However, the Premier League later revised the decision, officially crediting Jefferson Lerma with the goal.
The ball was delivered into a crowded penalty area where jostling occurred. Jefferson Lerma headed the ball from the corner, but it then deflected off Anan Khalaily before finding the net.
Despite the initial misattribution, the goal was ultimately scored by Lerma, with Khalaily making the final touch. Goalkeeper Matz Sels was unable to prevent the ball from going in. The report suggests Sels would prefer not to concede such a goal again.
