Eddie Nketiah wants to go “all the way” in the Conference League after Crystal Palace edged closer to the top eight with a 3-0 win over Shelbourne.
Christantus Uche opened the scoring for the Eagles after 11 minutes, slotting past Wessel Speel from Nketiah’s centre, before the English striker tapped home from close range after Uche’s initial strike hit the post.
Yeremy Pino then sealed the win in the 37th minute, dribbling past two Shelbourne players before firing the ball into the bottom-left corner.
English sides are now unbeaten across all 28 meetings with Irish sides in European competition (W23 D4); only German sides have faced Cypriot opposition in more such games without a single defeat (53).
Glasner’s side are now ninth in the league phase, just one point off the automatic last 16 spots ahead of their final group match against KuPS on December 18.
And Nketiah, who has now scored four goals in all competitions this season, has his eyes set on Conference League glory.
“Always nice to get on the scoresheet always nice to get a win. We started really strong, but we are just happy to get the three points,” Nketiah told TNT Sports.
