Henderson: We want to bring more success

First-team

4 Oct 2025

Dean Henderson was delighted Crystal Palace were able to reward the supporters who made the long journey to Lublin with a first European away success for the club against Dynamo Kyiv.

Palace had never played a European league phase fixture before Thursday's clash, let alone having ever scored an away European goal.

But magnificent efforts from Daniel Muñoz and Eddie Nketiah soon put that right, while Henderson helped the team towards another clean sheet to secure the points.

And the Palace No. 1 enjoyed having the fans behind him in the second-half, as his team made it 19 games unbeaten in all competitions – a new club record.

"I thought we controlled it from the first minute to the very end, even going down to ten men," Henderson told TNT Sport. "The patterns we showed throughout the game I thought were good and the quality shone through in the end.

—Dean Henderson

"The fans were fantastic and obviously we know how big of a day it is for them to come out here for the first time. It's fantastic we've been able to give them a good win."

Despite attention around the team only rising with each game of the lengthy unbeaten run, Henderson is insisting the team won't get ahead of themselves and remain focused.

"It's sensational when you look at it [the unbeaten run]," he added. "We just take it one game at a time, we don't think about the noise outside.

"The manager's been fantastic, the lads have bought into what he wants to do and hopefully that continues.

"We've been so good for a while now and that attention's increasing. But the thing is we've just got to keep going and keep building to the next thing.

"We had a phenomenal season last season but we didn't want to rest on that. We wanted to go one step further and obviously we've got a taste of success, so we want to bring more to the football club."
