Crystal Palace's go-ahead goal against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League's sixth round was initially credited to Anan Khalaily before being officially awarded to Jefferson Lerma. The BBC reported on the Premier League's decision to first attribute the goal to Khalaily and then change it, noting that Lerma scored the header from a corner kick.
According to the BBC's account, a corner was awarded to Palace after Tyrick Mitchell's shot went over the crossbar. The ball was delivered into a crowded box where jostling occurred. While Lerma headed the ball from the far post, Khalaily was credited with the final touch. The defender then managed to push the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Matz Sels and into the net, resulting in a 2-1 scoreline just before halftime.
The BBC suggested that Sels would not want to review the goal, regardless of who was officially credited with it. The match was part of the Premier League's sixth round.
