Crystal Palace's owner has publicly thrown his weight behind Pierre Sage as speculation swirls about the manager's future.

After a stunning second-place finish and Coupe de France glory, Lens are struggling to build on that success.

Under-fire Pierre Sage got the disciplined, clean-sheet display he needed to quiet the sack talk — at least for now.

Crystal Palace's long-awaited Europa League bow turned into a comfortable four-goal cruise at Selhurst Park.

Palace's rough start has already sparked talk of a managerial change, with Rob Edwards named as a possible successor.
