Soaring Eagles heading to top flight as they defy odds after season of change

Their 2-0 win at Lewes on Sunday means promotion to the WSL is now a formality and, barring a mathematical miracle, they will be crowned Championship title winners at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Palace are three points clear at the top and only defeat by Sunderland, a Charlton win against Southampton and a 23-goal swing on the final day will stop them being champions.

The Eagles are going up after an extraordinary first season as a fully professional outfit.

There was so much change at the club last summer that no one expected promotion. Grace Williams joined Palace as head of women's football from Bristol City, Charlton assistant manager Laura Kaminski was handed her first head coach role and the team moved from Bromley's Hayes Lane to Sutton United's Gander Green Lane.

I've rarely been as stunned as I was by this incredible collection of photography

I'M not being funny but... how incredible are London's museums and galleries? Last week I said I would share some of my favourite things to do in London that didn't involve drinking. It might be obvious to think of a museum as a good place to go, but sometimes they offer a lot more than we expect.
