Crystal Palace's go-ahead goal against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League's sixth matchday was initially credited to Anan Khalaily, but was later officially attributed to Jefferson Lerma. The BBC reported that the goal, which made the score 2-1 for Palace just before halftime, involved a corner kick that was headed by Lerma. However, Khalaily also appeared to have touched the ball last, with the BBC noting, "Jefferson Lerma headed after the corner kick, but at first the goal was credited to Anan Khalaily. The ball reached Lerma at the far post and somehow Khalaily was the one who touched the ball last." The defender then managed to push the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Matz Sels and into the net. The BBC added that Sels would not want to see the goal again. The initial decision to credit Khalaily was reportedly changed by the Premier League.
