Nottingham Forest grabbed all three points against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, thanks to a bit of a blunder from Dean Henderson.

It was a game of fine margins, with Matz Sels keeping Crystal Palace at bay on numerous occasions.

Nottingham Forest looked threatening in the first half, connecting with the post a couple of times, and Palace looked a real threat on the counterattack.

However, a mistake from Dean Henderson off a Chris Wood shot is what sealed the points, as he found the bottom corner from outside the box.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be pretty pleased with how his side played at the City Ground, edging the possession 51% to 49% and having 20 shots on goal.

Dean Henderson’s performance against Nottingham Forest

Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the 2022-2023 season, and had a pretty successful time of things in-between the sticks, keeping six clean sheets in his 20 appearances.

However, he was liable to the odd mistake at times, which did cost Forest.

His performance against Nottingham Forest looked nervy at times, but he did pull off some key saves.

He made five saves, one clearance, completed one of his three long balls, had 29 touches, a 90% passing accuracy, one high claim and one punch.

Interestingly, Henderson earns £100k-a-week at Palace, which is a staggering amount.
