Morgan Gibbs-White makes club history with opener vs Crystal Palace 🌳 | OneFootball

It took less than five minutes for Morgan Gibbs-White to give Nottingham Forest an early lead at home against Crystal Palace.

Following a goalmouth scramble off of a Forest throw-in, the ball fell to Gibbs-White, who found the bottom-left corner with a half-volley from close range.

It is the England international's 50th Premier League goal involvement for Forest, making him the first player in club history with over 50 PL goal contributions.

After nearly joining Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, Gibbs-White signed a contract extension and has been continued to be one of the club's top performers.

Unfortunately for Gibbs-White, his opener was cancelled out after Neco Williams was shown a straight red card for clearing the ball off of the goalline with his hand; reminiscent of Luis Suárez at the 2010 World Cup.

Ismaïla Sarr stepped up and converted the resulting penalty to level things up going into half-time.
