Europa League offers precious little relief for under-pressure Sage but 10-man Palace get out of jail
Early evening fare st Selhurst Europa League Matchday 4 Crystal Palace (0) 1 Kamada 91 Wharton s/o 77 TSG Hoffenheim (1) 1 Prass 7 An injury time strike from Daichi Kamada gave Crystal Palace a share of the spoils to keep their Europa League ambitions very much alive - but it was another largely unimpressive showing from the struggling Eagles. The biggest plus is that they found a way of cancelling out an early Hoffenheim goal despite being reduced to 10 men for the last 13

Spurs enjoy trouble-free evening as Crystal Palace pay the price for Mateta's early red card
We'll take the High Road : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Tottenham Hotspur (1) 2 Gray 25, Van Hecke 73 Crystal Palace (0) 0 Mateta s/o 12 Spurs made it three wins in a row to further distance themselves from the moribund Spurs of the opening weeks of the campaign as they took full advantage of an early dismissal to ease to a comfortable win. We were only 12 minutes in when the odds tilted massively in their favour when Jean-Philippe Mateta received a straight red card f

Player ratings from Craven Cottage as Eagles get their act together to win at Fulham once more
The gloves were off : But how did they all fare? Crystal Palace booked their place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup with a 1-0 victory at Fulham on Wednesday night. Eddie Nketiah’s first-half goal was enough to settle the contest and ease at least some of the pressure on Eagles boss Pierre Sage. It is the first time that Fulham, who came into the derby off the back of successive Premier League wins, had failed to score at Craven Cottage this season. Here are the ratings f

Fulham flop against Crystal Palace yet again as concerns grow over lack of firepower
Hamming it up. The home end before kick-off : Picture by @YTJourno Carabao Cup Fourth Round Fulham (0) 0 Crystal Palace (1) 1 Nketiah 37 For Fulham, it was a case of 'It's happened again.' They have come to really dread a visit from the Eagles - having lost the last four to their south London rivals and having failed to beat them by the Thames since 2005 - a run of nine games before this latest reverse. Once again Palace prevailed - as they did not so long ago in winning a Pr

From dead man walking to centre stage: Zabarnyi's unlikely PSG turnaround makes it harder for Fulham, Chelsea and Crystal Palace now: "I am learning French..."
Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone in Paris Ligue 1 PSG 2-0 Lyon Goals: Mayulu 72', Godts 84' How can anyone go from being one of the Premier League’s top-performing centre-backs to a Ligue 1 struggler? This is the baffling case of ex-Bournemouth star Illia Zabarnyi, who was once on Chelsea and Tottenham’s wishlist. Luis Enrique had as much faith in him as Mikel Arteta currently has in Viktor Gyokeres. And the lack of playing time in big matches was a reflection of that. The U

Talking points as misfiring Crystal Palace seek cup redemption against Fulham
Crystal Palace's disappointment continues Sunk by Newcastle United, there was a muted feeling surrounding Selhurst Park following Sunday's 2-0 defeat. A lack of clinical execution and clear signs of European fatigue has cost the Eagles again. The second-half collapse illustrated such tiredness and leaves the club's management with plenty of questions to answer ahead of their midweek EFL Cup clash against Fulham. The loss to the Magpies is also a significant dent to manager Pi

Sage dead bats the concerns at Palace as Prem's traditional sack season approaches
Sage addresses the issue in the post-match press conference : Picture by Julian Taylor His short tenure has been far from disastrous up to now, but there is little doubt that the heat is on for Pierre Sage after a troubling home defeat to fellow strugglers Newcastle United. Sunday afternoon's 2-0 defeat to the Magpies at Selhurst Park leaves the Eagles one point and one place above the relegation trapdoor and having to mix the demands of chasing Premier League points with kee

Palace finding the going tough as Newcastle's change of gears takes contest away from them
Battle of two early-season strugglers Premier League Crystal Palace (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 2 Osula 47, Barnes 58 We waited patiently for something to happen. And when it did it was not good news for the Eagles. After a first half in which very little happened - Daichi Kamada and Jean-Philippe Mateta both off target with Palace's best chances - the Geordies upped the tempo to seize control. Jacob Murphy turned Jaydee Canvot to send in a beautiful cross that William Osula t

Weekend roundup: Eagles in distress, Fulham flying, Hammers and Barnet power on
The Seagulls blew the Eagles away at the Amex If there is one match Crystal Palace fans really don't want to see their team lose 5-0, it's against those pesky rivals Brighton. But that was the scenario for them just a few days after a Europa League defeat in Lyon (3-2) and just ahead of another tiring foreign trip to Turkey to face Besiktas on Thursday. The Eagles were overrun at the Amex, going 3-0 down inside 10 minutes through an own goal from Jaydee Canvot, a spectacular

Crystal Palace spring to life after chastening 40 minutes to spoil Glasner's return with Nottingham Forest
Selhurst Setting: Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace (2) 3 Kamada 41,Lerma 45+4, Pino 59 Nottingham Forest (1) 1 Ndoye 3 The Eagles made light of a dismal first-half display to eke out a first home win of the season in the league - ensuring the return to Selhurst Park would not be a happy one for former boss Oliver Glasner. Quite how Palace managed to go in at the break 2-1 up was a mystery given a ponderous performance in which they gave the ball away time an
