# Crystal Palace: Fans recall great comeback against Watford following club tweet

**A lot of Crystal Palace fans are enjoying a ten minute video [posted](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1250774634221506561?s=20) by the club on Twitter which shows their dramatic comeback against fellow Premier League side Watford in December 2017.**

It looked to be another loss at Selhurst Park for the Eagles going into the last ten minutes of the game, until the South London side got a glimmer of hope when central midfielder Tom Cleverley got sent off for the Hornets, via [Crystal Palace](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2017/december/match-report-for-crystal-palace-vs-watford-on-12-dec-17/).

The home side piled on the pressure and the first goal came thanks to Bakary Sako who managed to tap the ball in on the second attempt in the 89th minute to make the game 1-1.

Roy Hodgson’s side were not finished and an amazing bit of trickery by Wilfried Zaha down the left wing saw him get past Daryl Janmaat and find James McArthur who slotted the ball into the net in the 96th minute to give the team a great win ([BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42232612)).

The win lifted Palace out of the relegation zone for the first time that season.

Here is what fans had to say following the tweet:
