"Just a year ago Crystal Palace were 18th in the Premier League and worryingly without a win. Now last term's FA Cup winners are on the longest stretch of games without defeat in their 120-year history after claiming a memorable first away victory in Europe against Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League. With three wins and three draws, Oliver Glasner's high-flying Eagles sit third in the top flight with the only unbeaten record, having ended leaders Liverpool's own successful start."
"Palace last lost a match on 16 April when they were thrashed 5-0 at Newcastle. But they have not looked back since then, with perhaps a measure of how far they have come highlighted on Thursday, when Dynamo Kyiv - a club steeped in European history - deploying a system and tactics specifically geared to try to nullify Palace's threat. Not that it worked."
Crystal Palace were 18th in the Premier League a year ago and without a win, but now they are on the longest unbeaten run in their 120-year history. The sequence includes three wins and three draws to start the season, elevating Oliver Glasner's side to third and leaving them the only unbeaten top-flight team. The run has produced results against top opponents, including two results versus Liverpool, an FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, and draws at Arsenal and Chelsea. Palace also claimed a maiden away European group-stage win at Dynamo Kyiv despite a Borna Sosa red card and earlier goals from Daniel Munoz and Eddie Nketiah.
