Crystal Palace with golden finish for Glasner after Europa Conference League victory

Just over a year ago, Crystal Palace had not won anything. Now the London club has three trophies. They secured the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano in the final.

Now that Austrian Oliver Glasner is retiring, he does so as Crystal Palace's greatest manager of all time.

It started with the FA Cup title last May and continued with victory in the Community Shield last autumn. And now Crystal Palace also has a European title.

Wednesday's victory in the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano could, and probably should, have been bigger than 1–0.

Jean-Philippe Mateta made it 1-0 on a rebound in the 51st minute, and Palace then created chances, with Yeremi Pino's free kick - which hit both the crossbar and the post - the sharpest.

There were no more goals, but Mateta's strike was enough.
