Showing flagrant disregard for the perimeter of his technical area, Oliver Glasner went skidding onto the pitch on the soles of his all-white trainers and shook Yeremy Pino, whose brave turn had set Crystal Palace on their way to Leipzig.
Pino was down and hurt after a robust challenge but had played a decisive role in the decisive goal, scored, naturally, by Ismaila Sarr, who led from the front again. Palace led Shakhar Donetsk 5-2 by that point and the chants of “We’re on our way” started back up again at Selhurst Park.
