The Crystal Palace fans in the Transfer Tavern are feeling rather relieved after signing Christian Benteke this summer.
The Eagles faithful had been worried where they were going to get goals from with them struggling to find the net since the start of this calendar year, but now with the Belgian international that shouldn’t be a problem.
The former Liverpool and Aston Villa man is a real threat when on form and can also score a fair share of unforgettable goals which is what the Selhurst Park crowd want to see.
With this in mind our landlord has been looking through old Palace videos to find some of the greatest goals they’ve ever scored and if Benteke can reach these heights, he’ll be a real hit.
Here then, are the best THREE goals Crystal Palace have ever scored – agreed?
Ian Wright v Manchester United
Ian Wright had only been on the pitch in the FA Cup final for three minutes when he announced himself to a global audience.
The striker would go on to be an Arsenal legend but only after he made his name for the Eagles with goals like this.

Don Rogers v Stoke
This is a fantastic breakaway goal.
Stoke have a corner which Palace duly defend before racing up the pitch and whilst Rogers still has a bit to do with the ball at his feet, he does it emphatically.
Victor Moses v Barnsley
Moses’ career has been in the doldrums for a while with a number of loan spells being thrown in.
He seems to have more backing from Antonio Conte at Chelsea at the moment but it was at Palace where he really shone.
This is one of his finest goals at a time where he was a very exciting prospect.
