The Eagles have been in blistering form this season, scoring a sensational 55 goals in their 22 matches – an average of 2.5 goals per game, and some 16 more than any other team.
They have recorded the most wins of any side – 14 from 22 games – and the second-fewest defeats (4) – whilst conceding the Championship’s fourth-lowest ‘goals against’ tally (20).
It has been an outstanding first season in red and blue for Palace Women head coach Laura Kaminski; Head of Women’s Football, Grace Williams; new captain Aimee Everett; and their brilliant squad.
Chairman Steve Parish said ahead of the game: "There really is nothing better as a Crystal Palace fan than to see a team in red and blue flying forwards, attacking with confidence, scoring goals aplenty and working as a team. From the first match in August to the final weekend, that is exactly what we have seen this season from Crystal Palace Women, and they now will lift the Championship title. It really is an incredible achievement.
"We have put a lot of work into making our women’s side one to be reckoned with, and a lot of credit must go to Grace Williams and Laura Kaminski for all their hard work, as well as to each and every player and staff member who have been working all season to get these results."
