Owen Goodman is back in the team at Huddersfield with cause for double celebration. He has his first call up for Canada Palace see him as a possible future No 1, or at worst an asset to sell His journey has been a long one but he's been rewarded for patience #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Owen Goodman hired his own lawyer to fight for Canadian citizenship. He turned down a Nigeria call-up. And now he's seen in #CANMNT as "the future for this nation." Inside Goodman's path to Canada and the World Cup, with @mattwoosie.bsky.social at @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Crystal Palace have denied a Football Association charge relating to a banner held up by the club’s supporters in their Premier League match with Nottingham Forest earlier this season. More from @mattwoosie.bsky.social ⤵️

Palace have denied a charge from the FA relating to a banner held up during their Premier League match with Nottingham Forest earlier this season. Club had a deadline of today to respond to the charge issued last week #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Jaydee Canvot suffered a software failure against AEK Larnaca but faced no problems with his programming to replicate Marc Guehi against Brighton A strong performance from the teenager. He has the hardware, now they just need to ensure the software is reliable #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Full-time: Palace 0-0 Brighton An even game, Palace did have the better chances but they lacked the finish as seems to be the case too often. Tired towards the end. Sarr's chance in the first half the best one. Mitchell outstanding, Canvot very good too. A strong defensive performance #CPFC

Will Hughes on for Daichi Kamada. Seven minutes remaining #CPFC

Some good Palace interplay in midfield then sees Kamada run at the Brighton defence into the area only to shoot into the side netting. Wasn't really on but he did well #CPFC

Wharton is subbed for Yeremy Pino after 65 minutes #CPFC

Brighton have a penalty. At first I thought Wharton fouled Rutter but the replays suggest no foul at all. VAR should overturn this with Tim Robinson at the screen #CPFC

Half-time: Palace 0-0 Brighton. An even game with no clear cut chances. Palace had a couple of balls flash across the area and Mateta shot over from outside the area. Defences definitely on top. A game which could yet explode into life and you sense something will give in the second half #CPFC

Jaydee Canvot has definitely improved as this game has gone on. Minteh having a poor game but Canvot, so far, has largely handled him well #CPFC

This has been a very even game so far. Nothing really to note by way of chances #CPFC

Palace have had about five opportunities (and taken them) for long throws in the past five minutes. None have been sufficiently threatening. That said, not sure how Lacroix slapping away Van Hecke's arm after having his shirt pulled off his shoulders is a foul for Brighton and not Palace., #CPFC

9’: Palace perfect break down the right. Munoz then cuts it across for Mateta who controls perfectly and sets it for Sarr. His curling shot is well saved by Verbruggen #CPFC

Palace break. Sarr plays in Mateta who emerges towards the area but his powerful shot is over the bar. Open game in the first 5 minutes #CPFC

I genuinely think that every other train I get there is someone playing something out loud without headphones that I can hear over music Feels like it's actually becoming more common as well

A comprehensive win for Palace over AZ. The shift in momentum since a blip with four tough games and results has been notable. Extremely timely ahead of Brighton Palace thrive most when they are consistently playing with intensity. That produces momentum #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/677...

Full-time: Palace 3-1 AZ A dominant performance from Palace who comfortably win. Ismaila Sarr in particular was unplayable but the front three connected really well with each other. Breathing space now as they look to avoid a Conference League play-off match by making the top eight #CPFC

Isak Jensen misses a glorious chance. Heads a cross back in the same direction but doesn't direct it into the back of the net as it should. He knows it because he kicks the post in anger #CPFC

Mateta races away down the right and bears down on goal. Munoz played it to Sarr who then put a through ball for Mateta but his shot is narrowly wide of the goal. AZ extremely open and vulnerable. Palace loving it. Sarr has been unplayable. #CPFC

GOAL! Ismaila Sarr restores Palace's two goal advantage. Pass to Mateta, he holds off, then slots a brilliant through ball into Sarr running onto it and he finishes it perfectly. Palace 3-1 AZ Alkmaar #CPFC

Goal! AZ have a lifeline. Palace now only lead 2-1. #CPFC

Goal! Another one from a deep free-kick. Ismaila Sarr puts it in from fairly close range Lerma heads it across, Lacroix heads it and then Sarr scores to double the lead. VAR check #CPFC

Only four minutes of time added on in the first half. That's really not a lot. Bizarre. #CPFC

Will Hughes has a go from more than 20 yards and it stings the palms of Owusu-Oduro. He's almost shooting on sight! #CPFC

You have to feel that AZ have missed a trick by leaving themselves so open to Palace's rampaging transitions. All the overlaps and the runs down the flanks have been so threatening. It's almost as if it's how Palace have enjoyed much of their success over the past 18 months #CPFC

Lacroix scores with a great snapshot finish but Mateta is offside after interfering with play #CPFC

Missed! Mateta appeared to not hear the whistle and took ages to take the penalty. Then he shot to the goalkeeper's left but not hard or fast enough and it's saved well #CPFC

Penalty to Palace. Sarr is fouled by goalkeeper Owusu-Oduro. Pino dummied and shifted his bodyweight to take two AZ Alkmaar players out and then played a brilliant through ball into Sarr who is taken out by the keeper. #CPFC

Ismaila Sarr unlucky not to put Palace ahead. Great free-kick routine. Richards heads Pino free-kick from back post into the area, Sarr controls and volleys against the post. It comes back in and Sarr again but he turns the ball wide of the goal. Brilliant effort Carbon copy of Brentford goal #CPFC

New PA system blares music out extraordinarily loudly but they've just played a message to someone to contact a nearest steward which wasn't fully audible...

Take this with some level of scepticism but AZ Alkmaar manager Maarten Martens was adamant they wouldn't change their way of playing tonight despite Palace's problems against low blocks. Expect them to be far more possession-based than AEK Larnaca were. #CPFC

USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner trained w/ former club Palace for past 10 days. Wants to maintain fitness after New End Revolution season ended Oliver Glasner says he talked about strict US player welfare rules as #CPFC boss criticised "maximising money" re scheduling www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Crystal Palace have been charged with misconduct by the Football Association (FA) for the alleged behaviour of supporters during the Premier League game with Nottingham Forest in August. Full story from @mattwoosie.bsky.social ⬇️ 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/657...

Adam Wharton in training this morning after illness kept him out of Palace's previous two games #CPFC

Palace's Carabao Cup quarter-final match with Arsenal has been scheduled for 23 December with an 8pm kick-off Was due to be played w/c 15 December but impractical for #CPFC given their fixture congestion. No good solution, but this is fairest for both sides www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

Full-time: Palace 2-0 Brentford Job done for Palace thanks to a rare Jean-Philippe Mateta headed goal and an own goal from Nathan Collins. Set pieces did the job on a day where, one Sarr chance aside, little else was created by either side from open play. A good performance and result #CPFC

Hard to overstate how bad Nathan Collins has been for Brentford today. Own goal, yellow card and then bumped over by his own goalkeeper #CPFC

Palace lead 2-0 but it's almost three. Lerma's long throw was headed into his own net by Nathan Collins and then Collins passes straight to Sarr who drives forward only to see his shot hit the post #CPFC

Palace should be ahead. Ismaila Sarr has so much time after doing brilliantly to outmuscle and outpace the defender but instead of shooting he squares it and it’s cut out. The wrong decision. #CPFC

Oliver Glasner very disappointed by the USMNT's decision to play Chris Richards in every minute of their games during the international break as he was managing a calf issue. Glasner also furious at the PL, UEFA and EFL for fixture congestion in December #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

Full-time: Arsenal 1-0 Palace A disappointing performance and one mistake costs Palace. Can play the way they played but if you concede against a team as good as Arsenal it's not going to work That's why a moment of ill-discipline is so costly #CPFC

Borna Sosa, Christantus Uche and Jefferson Lerma are coming on for the final two minutes plus stoppage time #CPFC

Will Hughes being prepared to come on with 20 minutes remaining #CPFC

Eddie Nketiah is coming on shortly #CPFC

Half-time: Arsenal 1-0 Palace. Eze's goal the difference in a fairly even half... Palace had done well until that point #CPFC

Of course. Eberechi Eze scores for Arsenal. 1-0 #CPFC

Dean Henderson saves from Leandro Trossard. First time he's had to do anything. Ball down the line for Viktor Gyokeres eventually made its way to the otger side of the pitch and Trossard cut back to shoot low but it was easy for Henderson #CPFC

Oliver Glasner rightly complaining to the fourth official after Daichi Kamada is penalised for a foul after clearly winning the ball. The assistant referee should have seen it... Nothing comes of the free-kick though #CPFC
