The 2017-18 campaign was a season of dramatic redemption for Crystal Palace as The Eagles soared from the depths of the relegation zone to secure a respectable 11th-place finish in the Premier League. The year began disastrously under Frank de Boer, who was sacked after losing the first seven games without scoring, leading to the crucial arrival of boyhood fan Roy Hodgson, who engineered a spectacular turnaround. Spearheading the charge was the tireless midfielder and top scorer Luka Milivojević, whose 10 goals proved vital, alongside the electrifying performances of Wilfried Zaha, whose memorable winner against champions Chelsea sparked the revival. The season, which also saw a famous 0-0 draw end Manchester City's 18-game winning run, became a defining chapter of fight and character for the club.
