After the 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, Glasner had to accept the second significant league defeat in a row. The Londoners also clearly lost 1:4 against newly promoted Leeds United after Dominic Calvert-Lewin (38th, 45+4th), Ethan Ampadu (60th) and Anton Stach scored late for Leeds (90+11th), and Justin Devenny had previously made cosmetic gains from the penalty spot (90+2nd). The promoted team temporarily moved up to 16th place, and the relegation zone is already six points away. Meanwhile, Palace continued to lose ground in the table and slipped back to eighth place.
Meanwhile, the pre-Christmas deadline stress continues for Glasner’s team. It was the second game within 48 hours after the Londoners drew 2-2 against Finland representative Kuopio in the Conference League on Thursday and now have to go to the play-offs. The Austrian star coach had the second suit played.
Next game on Tuesday
But the Premier League club has to do it again before Christmas. The quarter-finals of the League Cup against Arsenal are scheduled for December 23rd (9 p.m.). Before the turn of the year there will be against Tottenham Hotspur (December 28th) and on New Year’s Day against Fulham (January 1st, 2026).
Meanwhile, Cup opponents Arsenal regained the lead they had briefly lost to Manchester City with a 1-0 win at Everton. Star striker Viktor Gyökeres scored the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 27th minute. For the “Gunners” it was the second win in a row, which now means they are two points ahead of the Citizens.
