The 2018-19 campaign delivered a record-breaking season of top-flight consolidation for Crystal Palace, as The Eagles, under the veteran stewardship of Roy Hodgson, secured a comfortable 12th-place finish with their highest-ever Premier League points tally of 49. Spearheading the charge was their rock-steady captain and set-piece specialist Luka Milivojević, whose 12 crucial goals, a remarkable 10 of them penalties, earned him the top scorer honor. The season was characterized by thrilling away form, which included a monumental 3-2 victory over champions Manchester City at the Etihad, featuring Andros Townsend's unforgettable volley. Alongside the continued attacking brilliance of Wilfried Zaha and a strong FA Cup Quarter-final run, the year marked a successful and pivotal chapter that cemented Palace's status in the Premier League.
