Euphoric Crystal Palace fans storm Selhurst Park pitch after historic Conference League win

Crystal Palace fans stormed the pitch at Selhurst Park as the Eagles lifted their first European trophy and punched their ticket to the Europa League with their Conference League final victory over Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night (27 May).

It marked the final chapter for Palace boss Oliver Glasner, who is departing the south London club after historic FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, who nearly left the Eagles in January, completed his redemption arc by securing the 1-0 victory and treating fans to his signature corner-flag kick.
