Oliver Glasner hailed Crystal Palace’s latest European milestone after Ismaila Sarr’s extra-time winner at nine-man AEK Larnaca booked a Conference League quarter-final against Fiorentina.

Sarr fired Palace, who had drawn the first leg 0-0, into a 13th-minute lead in Cyprus, but defender Enric Saborit levelled in the 63rd minute, only to be sent off 10 minutes later after being shown a second yellow card.

Sarr put the Eagles 2-1 ahead nine minutes into extra time before twice going close to a hat-trick, clipping the crossbar on both occasions, the second time after Larnaca had been reduced to nine men following Petros Ioannou’s dismissal.

“It’s a huge achievement,” Glasner said on TNT Sports. “We are looking forward and it is now to really make the best with the three weeks, because our next competitive game is against Fiorentina at Selhurst Park.

“We will have a few days off and then many of our players go to their national team and then we will prepare.

“We will play a friendly to stay in the rhythm. It’s good. I expect (forward) Eddie Nketiah back, so everybody will help us, because then it will be a very tight schedule until the end of the season, and hopefully our European journey continues.”
