Crystal Palace: Fans want Yannick Bolasie back at Selhurst Park - Crystal Palace

A lot of Crystal Palace fans would love to see Yannick Bolasie return to the South London side and are flooding to his tweet showing highlights of the 3-3 draw with Liverpool back in 2014.

Bolasie was a key part of the comeback, starting a great counter-attack in the build-up to the second goal and, before his £26.01 million move to fellow Premier League side Everton, via Transfermarkt, the DR Congo winger was a huge part of keeping the team in England’s top flight.
