Ready for the off at the Tallaght Stadium : Picture by David Rake Europa Conference League Shelbourne 0, Crystal Palace 3 The last thing Crystal Palace needed with a fixture pile-up such as theirs was two extra playoff games in the Europa Conference league but that grim possibility receded somewhat in Dublin last night. It was with a comprehensive victory over Shelbourne in the Tallaght Stadium that Palace moved tantalisingly to within a point of the top eight, which they sho

Dreaming of beating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu is one thing, going on and doing it is yet another. And Pep Guardiola’s men ended a four-game winless run in the Spanish

Cottagers v Eagles programme by @JTaylorSport Fulham 1 Crystal Palace 2 “We are watching the best manager and the best team in Crystal Palace's history”. An eye-catching quote from Jamie Carragher on the rise of the south London club under Oliver Glasner. And this was prior to three points conjured up in disciplined, industrious fashion at Craven Cottage against luckless Fulham. It was a London derby with quality goals, firstly from Eddie Nketiah who fired Palace into a 20 th

For the 10th head-to-head running, it was visitors who enjoyed the better of it when games have not ended in draws. The Eagles scored a cracking opener through Eddie Nketiah and were pegged back by an even more outstanding goal from Harry Wilson. But Marc Gueh

Matchday programme : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace (1) 1 Mateta pen 32 Manchester United (0) 2 Zirkzee 54, Mount 65 The Eagles missed a chance to move up to fourth in the Premier League as they squandered a half-time lead before going on to record a first home defeat in the competition. Despite a bright start, energy levels dropped just enough to allow United a way back into the contest - and the obvious theory is that the extra game they had to play thre

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone Jefferson Lerma was in no mood to brand Crystal Palace as favourites against Manchester United. The Eagles go into Sunday's game sitting two points ahead of the Red Devils in the Premier League. But the Colombian midfielder told Capital Football: "In the Premier League there are no favourites. "We need to knuckle down, work hard in training, recuperate and go into the game with a positive mindset." He then shed light on why Palace ended up l

By Alessandro Schiavone in Strasbourg Ben Chilwell admitted that he's still not where he'd like to be as he eyes a place in Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad with England. Chilwell, who sealed a permanent move to Ligue 1 in the summer, helped Strasbourg overcome ex-club Crystal Palace in the Conference League last night. He told Capital Football: "For me what's nice and what's good here is that I am getting consistent performances where I can keep on building the level. "The m

Scene before kick-off in Strasbourg: Picture by Pennie Turrell UEFA Conference League Strasbourg 2-1 Crystal Palace Crystal Palace suffered the frustration of relinquishing a first-half lead and hitting the woodwork twice to no avail as their hopes of automatic qualification for the knockout stages of the Conference League took a blow last night in France. And yet, the one time the hosts hit the woodwork, they scored from the rebound. It was that kind of night for Palace who

By Alessandro Schiavone at Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg Conference League Matchday 4 Strasbourg 2-1 Crystal Palace Goals : Mitchell 35' (CP), Emegha 53' (S), El Mourabet 77' (S) Crystal Palace snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as Emanuel Emegha and Samir El Mourabet rendered Tyrick Mitchell's maiden European goal useless in a 2-1 defeat. The clash, between two of the competition's top dogs, was labelled by many as an 'anticipated final' given the talent at both sides

Remembrance Day rendezvous : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace 0 Brighton 0 It started as if we might be heading for goal fest and ended with the feeling we might never see a goal again for the rest of our lives. Draws between these two have become common currency in recent years and after the initial thrill of full-on attacks from both sides had subsided, a familiar cautionary holding pattern took hold. The second half had very little going for it. With five
