📸 Palace's second half with Fiorentina delayed for an unusual reason 🧻 | OneFootball

Crystal Palace's Conference League quarter-final with Fiorentina has gone according to plan for the hosts after they raced into a two-goal lead at the break.

But the second half at Selhurst Park was delayed for a slightly unusual reason.

Supporters behind the Holmesdale Road Stand launched reams of toilet roll towards the goal that David De Gea was set to defend for La Viola after the interval.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper and teammate Marin Pongračić had to help out an Eagles official in clearing the pitch and the netting during the hold-up.

Palace fans are known for their partisan displays but this was definitely one of the more unexpected and unique approaches from Oliver Glasner's side.

Talk about a new meaning to clean sheets!
