		</div><p>Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest rounded off their respective seasons with a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.</p>
<p>A sixth goal in four games from Taiwo Awoniyi for the visitors was cancelled out with an effort from Will Hughes after the interval.</p>
<p>Forest made three changes from their heroic efforts against Arsenal that secured their survival last week. Ex-Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, Willy Boly and Brennan Johnson came in.</p>
<p>The hosts, unchanged from their draw at Fulham, had the first chance when Michael Olise brought a decent save from the keeper after a fine solo run in the fourth minute.</p>
<p>Eberechi Eze almost marked his England call-up with a goal in the 17th minute, after an Olise free-kick was squared to him, but his effort went narrowly past a post.</p>
<p>Palace had the bulk of possession and Nottingham Forest were offering little up front, but they soaked up the pressure and took the lead in an amazing 60-second spell.</p>
<p>They were almost undone on the half-hour mark when a shot by Eze was blocked by Jordan Ayew, with Hennessey turning away a Hughes shot on the rebound.</p>
<p>A long ball out of the Forest half shortly afterwards by Morgan Gibbs-White found Awoniyi, who powered into the area. After getting the better of Joachim Andersen, he followed his goal against Arsenal last week with an effort into the bottom corner.</p>
<p>Odsonne Edouard should have done better with an Olise free-kick after 38 minutes when he put his header wide after finding space in the area.</p>
<p>With Harry Toffolo replacing Renan Lodi for the visitors at the interval, Crystal Palace pushed for an early equaliser.</p>
<p>A Cheick Doucoure effort in the 52nd minute was drilled over the crossbar, while a free-kick on the edge of the box three minutes later was put over by Eze.</p>
<p>Like the first half, the home side were generally on top, without forcing a significant opportunity in front of goal.</p>
<p>However, they made a breakthrough after 65 minutes, albeit with some good fortune. A cross by Olise into the box was flicked on by Hughes past Hennessey – although the ball deflected off the challenging Boly.</p>
<p>The hosts sent on James McArthur from the bench for his final appearance in a Crystal Palace shirt.</p>
<p>With the game finely poised in the closing minutes, both teams, to their credit, were looking for a winner.</p>
<p>Forest substitute Emmanuel Dennis fired a tame effort at Sam Johnstone after 81 minutes.</p>
<p>A link-up between Olise and substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta required a last-ditch intervention by Joe Worrall, while Eze fired at Hennessey in the final action of the game – and the season.</p>
