Saturday’s win over Wolves was Palace’s 20th game of what is already proving to be another memorable season in SE25.
It’s fair to say quite a lot has happened already, with the Eagles still fighting on three fronts – the Premier League, Carabao Cup and of course, the Conference League.
It’s actually tough to pick out the highlights of our season already, even more remarkable when we’re only in November!
However, we’ve done our best below. So why not reflect on some memorable moments from the campaign so far…
Another Wembley visit – and yet more silverware secured. Not a bad way to start the year, was it?
A Community Shield thriller against Liverpool would eventually finish 2-2 and be decided by a penalty shootout.
Step forward Justin Devenny to make himself the hero of the hour...
After two draws in our opening two fixtures – the Eagles’ league campaign truly caught fire with an outstanding performance at Aston Villa. It was a real team performance with every player in Eagle Gold excelling in front of a joyous away end.
However, 'that' finish from our skipper just has to be the highlight.
As September closed, the Eagles were last unbeaten side left in the Premier League.
That was thanks to this moment for the ages from Eddie Nketiah, as the champions were beaten one a memorable afternoon at Selhurst Park.
A first-ever European ‘proper’ fixture in Palace history – resulted in our first away in European competition.
The Eagles shone in Lublin against Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kyiv, with goals coming from Daniel Muñoz and Nketiah helping us make the perfect start to our league campaign.
It may not have ended in three points, but this game above all others showed Palace’s never-say-die attitude.
Twice they trailed in this one, with Bournemouth’s third in a six-goal thriller leaving the Eagles only injury time left to salvage a point. Yet thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s hat-trick, Palace did just that!
Maybe there is an element of recency bias here – but the Eagles got back to winning ways on their travels on Saturday at Wolves, doing so in some style.
Two wonderful goals won the day, with Yéremy Pino’s first in the Premier League, which virtually sealed the three points, a real touch of class.
