Yeremy Pino scored once in each of Crystal Palace's first three matches in the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League. His goals came against Lech Poznań, Lyon and Beşiktaş on 17 September, 15 October and 22 October respectively. The run gives the Spaniard three goals in three matches and a share of the scoring lead, rather than an outright lead over his rivals. Palace's next European fixture is at home to Hoffenheim in London on 5 November.
Yeremy Pino's three goals, match by match
| Matchday and date | Fixture and result | Pino's goal | How the move unfolded |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1, 17 Sep | Crystal Palace 4-0 Lech Poznań | 10th minute, 1-0 | Pounced on a misplaced throw-in by Terry Yegbe to open the scoring. |
| 2, 15 Oct | Lyon 3-2 Crystal Palace | 50th minute, 2-1 | Finished a rehearsed set-piece move to reduce Palace's deficit. |
| 3, 22 Oct | Beşiktaş 2-2 Crystal Palace | 51st minute, 1-1 | Turned in an Anan Khalaili cross from close range; VAR review confirmed the goal. |
On Matchday 1 at Selhurst Park, Pino scored Palace's first goal of this Europa League campaign and also won the penalty converted by Jørgen Strand Larsen. In France, his strike brought Palace back into contention after Lyon had led 2-0, but the English side lost 3-2. In Istanbul, Pino's equaliser launched a response that briefly put Palace 2-1 ahead before Beşiktaş made it 2-2 in the second half. His scoring streak therefore spans a win, a loss and a draw.
Scoring in consecutive matches is different from total goals
In UEFA's 22 October update, Pino was joint-top with six other players on three goals apiece: Dion Beljo, Tjaronn Chery, Alphadjo Cisse, Sergio Gómez, Nick Woltemade and Kristoffer Zachariassen. Their cumulative totals were identical, but they reached them in different ways. Cisse registered all three with a hat-trick for Milan against Salzburg on Matchday 2, while Pino and Woltemade had each scored in all three of their appearances.
Pino's observed average is one goal per match in the league phase: three goals divided by three appearances, not a per-90-minute rate. Palace scored eight goals across those fixtures, four against Lech, two against Lyon and two against Beşiktaş. Pino supplied three of the eight goals, or 37.5%. This describes his share of the team's goals in a small sample, not his shot-conversion efficiency or superiority to other forwards.
What is at stake against Hoffenheim on 5 November?
Crystal Palace host Hoffenheim at Selhurst Park in Matchday 4 on Thursday 5 November 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:45 London time (GMT), equivalent to 18:45 Central European Time (CET). The match was still in the future at this article's 29 October cutoff.
After three games, Palace had four points from one win, one draw and one defeat, with eight goals scored and five conceded. Hoffenheim had three points: they lost 2-0 to OFI Crete and 3-2 to Beşiktaş, then beat Lyon 3-0. The German side had scored five goals and conceded five. The meeting gives Pino a chance to extend his run, but neither another goal nor a change at the top of the scorers' table can be assumed in advance.
Scope: the opening three matches of the 2026/27 Europa League league phase only, with sources checked on 29 October 2026. Premier League, Conference League and other-season goals are excluded.
