Daniel Munoz and Anthony Elanga saw good chances go begging in the first half at Selhurst Park, but it was in the second half that the contest really sparked into life.

Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels was penalised for a lunge on Tyrick Mitchell inside the box following a VAR review.

Eberechi Eze converted the resulting spot-kick to put FA Cup finalists Palace ahead on the hour.

But Murillo restored parity with a clever flick off Neco Williams's low drive four minutes later.

Having seen fellow Champions League contender Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa pick up victories over the weekend, Forest was forced to hold on as Palace ramped up the pressure to find a late winner.

Eze sent a curling shot cannoning off the crossbar late on before Eddie Nketiah saw a goal disallowed for offside during a lengthy period of stoppage time.

The draw leaves Forest in sixth place, two points off the top five with three games remaining, though it has a big chance to get back on track when it takes on relegated Leicester City.
