Crystal Palace fans have been reminded by the club of their great win over Manchester City in April 2015 after a post on Twitter.
The Manchester side were reigning champions and were looking to win the league again, but a 2-1 defeat to the Eagles meant that they moved nine points behind champions-elect, Chelsea, in the league.
A goal from Glen Murray and a spectacular free-kick from midfielder Jason Puncheon gave the South London side a 2-0 victory. City pulled one back through Yaya Toure, who scored five goals in six appearances against Palace. However, the Eagles were able to hold on and secure a massive three points which theoretically meant they survived in England’s top flight for a second successive season.
This was one of three free kicks Jason Puncheon scored in the 2014/15 season, with the other two coming against Manchester United and Liverpool.
Here is what fans said following the tweet:
Twitter: On this day in 2015: We stunned the Champions at Selhurst.
