Sarr makes history as Palace earn first-leg advantage in ECL semi-final

Crystal Palace earned a 3-1 advantage to take back to south London in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk. Palace, in pursuit of a second major trophy under Oliver Glasner, raced into the lead in the first 21 seconds when Ismaila Sarr combined neatly with Jean-Philippe Mateta to sweep into the far corner - making Sarr the joint top scorer in the competition and owner of the record-fastest goal.
