Nottingham Forest boss Nuno: Palace draw a good point

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno was happy with their 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Chris Wood struck for Forest to cancel Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener.

Nuno said: “It is very tight (in the table). There are some teams still involved in that fight.

“We have to focus on ourselves. This point is good, as long as we do something against Fulham.

“I think we did enough in the game to achieve another result, but the game was not easy and it started bad for us. When you have the expectations of 'let's go' and you concede first, the team shakes and it was not what we wanted.

“But overall, I think we were dominant and were in control. We had good moments.

“We produced a better second half - more pace and we were more aggressive. But it is not easy to play against Crystal Palace because of the shape they have - the spaces, the gaps and the pockets are not there.

“Once again, the team showed character. We are out of the relegation zone and we want to capitalise on this for the next one. We definitely need to climb up the table."
