"Crystal Palace cruised to a routine 3-0 win at Shelbourne to boost their hopes of a top-eight finish in the Conference League. Fourth in the Premier League, the Eagles have produced some underwhelming displays in Europe, suffering two defeats. But the tournament favourites had far too much for Shelbourne in Dublin, with the Irish side still awaiting their first goal in the competition this season. Goals from Christantus Uche, Eddie Nketiah and Yeremy Pino sealed the points for Palace,"
"Palace needed only 11 minutes to break the deadlock when Nketiah pulled back for Uche to slot in at the end of a fine move from the visitors. Glasner's men unsurprisingly continued to pour forward and, after Adam Wharton had been denied by Wessel Speel, Nketiah doubled the lead. Uche was unfortunate not to double his tally as he hit the post after sliding in to meet Pino's clever throughball, but Nketiah was there to tap in from point-blank range."
"Several more chances went begging for Uche, and Chris Richards hit the bar with a header from a corner before Pino put the game beyond doubt before half-time. Pino surged through a gaping void in the Shelbourne midfield and let fly from just inside the area to find the bottom-left corner with an unstoppable low drive. Palace had opportunities to pile on the pain in the second,"
Crystal Palace defeated Shelbourne 3-0 in Dublin to strengthen their bid for a top-eight finish in the Conference League. Early pressure produced an 11-minute opener as Eddie Nketiah set up Christantus Uche, and Nketiah later added a second after a sustained Palace spell. Yeremy Pino struck an unstoppable low drive before half-time to make it 3-0. Palace created numerous chances in the second half but did not extend the scoreline. Shelbourne remain without a goal in the competition this season. Palace sit one point outside the top eight with a final group game against KuPS.
