# Crystal Palace: Fans rave over highlights of 5-0 thrashing of Leicester City

**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.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43846991)

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.](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/6/Crystal-Palace/overview)
