# Crystal Palace: Fans love Andros Townsend tweet mocking rivals

**A lot of Crystal Palace fans can not stop sharing their love for Andros Townsend after his trolling tweet direct at rivals Brighton.**

After both Townsend and Brighton striker Neal Maupay were knocked out in the first round of Leyton Orient’s FIFA 20 tournament #UltimateQuaranTeam, Brighton [tweeted](https://twitter.com/OfficialBHAFC/status/1242381103878606848) at the winger challenging him to a match on the game against Maupay.

However the winger sent the perfect reply in the view of most Palace fans and rejected the challenge saying: ‘Thanks but our fans were already given exactly what they wanted,” ([@andros\_townsend](https://twitter.com/andros_townsend/status/1242428561543356416?s=20)) and it was supported with footage of Jordan Ayew’s goal in the Eagles’ 1-0 victory against Albion on February 29th, via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51595063).

Fans were quick to express their admiration for Townsend after the tweet, with one calling him a ‘king’. Palace managed to remain undefeated this season against their rivals as they drew the reverse fixture 1-1, via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50708661).

Fellow Palace ace Wilfried Zaha also enjoyed the tweet from his teammate replying with ‘[That was a sweet one I must say](https://twitter.com/wilfriedzaha/status/1242528018632974340?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)‘.

For now, the South London side have bragging rights over their M23 rivals, who haven’t won a fixture this calendar year, via [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/).

Here are some reactions to Townsend’s tweet:
