# Crystal Palace: Fans purr over what the club put on Twitter

**A lot of Crystal Palace fans are loving the tweet posted by the club showing the great 4-1 victory against Leicester City last season.**

The emphatic win away from home showcased a great season the club had on the road, with a brace coming from Wilfried Zaha, whilst Michy Batshuayi and Luka Milivojevic scored the other goals, per [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table).

Away from home in the 2018/19 campaign, the Eagles managed to pick up 29 points, which placed them sixth in the league based on just away games, via [SoccerStats](https://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england_2019).

Their counter-attacking style was more suited to games like the victory against Leicester, and the statistics from the game emphasise this, as they managed 35% possession during the match at the King Power Stadium and only had five shots on target, via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47262467).

This type of performance is loved by Palace fans, with one saying, “Proper good Smash n Grab, South London style.” The result was the end for former Leicester manager Claude Puel, as he was sacked following the result, via [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/24/claude-puel-sacked-leicester-city).
