Nottingham Forest have climbed off the foot of the Premier League table following a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the City Ground in a game heavily influenced by VAR.
Morgan Gibbs-White scored from close range after Vicente Guaita had parried from Brennan Johnson, but the ex-Wolves man was flagged for offside.
Replays looked to have confirmed the decision, but after a lengthy delay, the video assistant referee reversed the decision and that proved to be the winning goal.
Wilfred Zaha missed a penalty after Joe Worrall brought him down and the Eagles had no further chances of note, ending their two-match winning streak.
Victory for the Reds sees them jump to 18th in the table, one point from safety with their third 1-0 victory at home this season following wins over West Ham United and Liverpool.
Story of the match
Forest manager Steve Cooper made five changes to the side that defeated Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in midweek with Dean Henderson, Remo Freuler, Cheikhou Kouyate, Gibbs-White and Johnson all back in the side.
Patrick Vieira made no changes to his side and was almost instantly rewarded as within 90 seconds of kick-off, as Zaha won the ball in the Reds’ half, found his way into the area, but fired over from close range.
Eberechi Eze and Jordan Ayew had shots on goal before Henderson parried away Zaha's cross.
The hosts nearly opened the scoring after 15 minutes, a nifty cross by Johnson found Jesse Lingard, who was inches away from turning the ball into an empty net.
On the half-hour mark, Forest won a free-kick, but Gibbs-White's curling effort did not trouble Guaita.
Just before halftime, the Eagles had their best chance of the match as Zaha did brilliantly to create space in the area before being hauled down by Worrall.
Referee John Brooks pointed to the spot and the Ivorian stepped up to take the penalty, but it clipped the post on its way to going wide.
Seven minutes into the second half, the Reds were in front.
Gibbs-White was quickest to react after Guaita left a rebound from Johnson's shot and turned home for his second goal in the last three games.
A few minutes later, Gibbs-White had another chance as he found himself in the box again, but his shot failed to find the target from a Lingard headed pass.
Vieira then made a double change, bringing on Joel Ward and Jean-Philippe Mateta for Tyrick Mitchell and Ayew.
Worrall and Lingard had chances from inside the area, but both failed to hit the target.
Lingard then had two chances to double Forest's lead, first curling wide from eight yards out and then chipping over the bar when one-on-one with Guaita.
Sam Surridge, who came on for Lingard, found himself straight into the action when he swung his half-volley straight into the stands.
In stoppage time, Michael Olise sent in a free-kick at the back post with Freuler making an important header and the Reds saw out the rest of the match.
Player of the match: Morgan Gibbs-White
He had to wait an age to see if he could celebrate his goal, but it was worth the wait.
It’s the third straight match that he has been at his very best, showing why Forest signed him.
