Nottingham Forest ended the season with a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace as Taiwo Awoniyi continued his red-hot scoring streak.
The Reds went into the game pressure-free, having already secured Premier League safety. And they soon gave a jubilant away end further cause to cheer as they took the lead with 31 minutes gone.
Serge Aurier fired wide from a Moussa Niakhate throw early on, but it was Palace who had looked most likely to break the deadlock as they saw more of the ball. Eberechi Eze and Jordan Ayew both tried their luck, before the latter inadvertently blocked a shot on the turn from the former on the half hour. Wayne Hennessey was called into action in the immediate aftermath of that chance, palming away Will Hughes’ close-range effort.
