"It has been a memorable couple of years for Palace fans with their stunning FA Cup win two seasons ago followed by European glory in the Conference League. The Europa League, however, marks a step up in quality and supporters will have been cautiously optimistic about how their team would handle it. On this showing they will have every reason to believe their side can at least reach the knockout stage, though they were helped out by a Lech Poznan side that did themselves no favours.
