Crystal Palace begun their European adventure with a comprehensive 2-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League on Thursday night.
Goals from Daniel Munoz and Eddie Nketiah handed all three points to the south London side on their European proper debut.
It was an historical night for Palace as they set a new club record. Palace success on the night was their seventh win of the season, but it’s also seen Palace break an incredible record.

The Premier League club have gone 19 consecutive matches without defeat, the longest run across its entire history, having been established as a professional outfit in 1905.
It has surpassed the 18-match run they achieved in 1969 with Bert Head as their manager.
Palace haven’t been beaten since their 5-0 defeat against Newcastle on April 16.
Oliver Glasner and co. have won 11 matches and drawn eight in their record streak, which marks significant growth for the club.
Palace were dealt a blow late on in the match as Borna Sosa was sent off for two yellow cards in just under two minutes.
However, they held onto the lead against their Ukrainian opponents to make a winning start to life in European football.
Palace will be eager to extend their unbeaten form to twenty match when they travel to Everton on Sunday afternoon.
