Crystal Palace have released a video of the club’s highlights against Leicester City at Selhurst Park, which was played on this day (April 28th) in 2018 in the Premier League.
The South London side treated the Palace faithful to a perfect performance as they thrashed the Foxes 5-0, pushing the club up to 11th in the table with two games to go, via BBC Sport.

The goals came from five different scorers, with the first one the pick of the bunch as Wilfried Zaha smashed the ball into the back of the net following a lovely team move, James McArthur added a second, and then the day got worse for Leicester as Mark Albrighton got sent off.
The floodgates then opened in the final ten minutes as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Patrick Van Aanholt and Christian Benteke all scored before the final whistle.
It was a great victory and Palace’s biggest one since gaining promotion to England’s top flight, via Premier League.
Here is what fans had to say following the tweet:
