LEIPZIG, Germany (AFP) — Departing Crystal Palace Manager Oliver Glasner toasted Wednesday’s UEFA Conference League final victory by saying the club is back where it belongs after a “year’s detour”.

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s second-half goal took Palace to a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano and a maiden European triumph. It also earned them a place in the Europa League.

Palace’s FA Cup win last season qualified them for this season’s Europa League, but UEFA revoked their place in the second-tier competition due to multi-club ownership rules.
