Will Hughes believes Crystal Palace's performance was still outstanding despite a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest


In the 35th round of the 2024/25 Premier League, after Eze scored a penalty, the "Eagles" Crystal Palace was scored by the opponent and finally tied with Nottingham Forest 1-1. Although they failed to get all three points, Will Hughes said that the team's overall performance was still very good and they showed high morale throughout the game.


Crystal Palace defender Tyrique Mitchell was brought down by Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mats Sales in the 58th minute when he tried to receive the ball from the penalty area, and Crystal Palace was awarded a penalty kick. Subsequently, Eze took the penalty kick and scored, helping Crystal Palace to open the scoring 1-0.


Just four minutes later, Nottingham Forest's corner kick was cleared, and Murillo, who was near the top of the penalty area, received a pass from Neco Williams and scored with a long shot, helping Nottingham Forest to tie the score at 1-1.


In the end, Crystal Palace tied Nottingham Forest 1-1 at home. After three consecutive draws, Crystal Palace is currently ranked 12th in the standings with 46 points, while Nottingham Forest is ranked 6th with 61 points, and there are many variables in the fight for the Champions League qualification.


Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes, 30, said, "If you can't hit the target, you can't score. But overall, the team's performance at this stage is really outstanding. I think this fully reflects our overall level as a team and club, and the high standards we set for ourselves. Even in such a game, we still go all out and are eager to win."


"The performance in this game also says a lot. Looking back at the game against Arsenal a few weeks ago, and three days later we played against Aston Villa, the performance in that game was also at the top level. So whether it is the Premier League at the end of the season or the FA Cup final, we hope to win with the same mentality."


In addition, Will Hughes also said, "49 points is the club's Premier League points record. We still have a chance to achieve our goal. Judging from the team's performance, we really want to make history. So in this season's Premier League, there are still many things worth fighting for."
