Crystal Palace Latest News

Crystal Palace Football Club (commonly referred to as simply Palace) is a professional football club based in Selhurst in the Borough of Croydon, South London, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Palace became a force in the topflight and challenged Arsenal and Liverpool for the English league title in 1990–91, but eventually ended the season in third place, the club’s highest league finish to date.

Palace only missed out on qualification for the UEFA Cup at the end of that season due to the limited number of European places available to English clubs after the lifting of the UEFA ban caused by the Heysel Stadium disaster.

It was also around this time that Palace reached the FA Cup final in 1990, narrowly losing to Manchester United after a replay, and they became founder members of the Premier League.
