Our beloved Eagles were involved in a scintillating 4-0 victory with Manchester City on Saturday. To relive this , I have detailed each goal in its glory below.
Minute 22. A shot comes in from outside the box. The goalkeeper sees it too late. The ball slides underneath his diving body and into the back of the net. The crowd goes wild as the opposition had been in charge up to that point. 1-0.
Minute 41. Can it be? Another shot from a similar distance again from far out. This time it's struck at head height. The big defender tries to head it away but instead just flicks at it giving a wicked deflection and sending the ball screaming into the top corner of the net. Once again, the goal was unjustified considering current possession statistics. 2-0
Minute 68. What a sublime team goal. Perfectly placed passes slice the defense apart with the attackers simply playing with the defence and bouncing the ball around the 18 yard box. After five pinpoint through balls the smiling strikers decide to stop the embarrassing play and slot the ball into the goal. 3-0
Minute 84. The ball is lost in the defensive half. Once again the attack stream forward with the team's top scorer thundering toward goal. It looks like he will get his hatrick today but selflessly he centers the ball to his teammate for him to calmly pass the ball into the net. 4-0
It was quite a hammering. Sadly, it was Crystal Palace who was hammered. Not City. Apologies if I led you astray there ;)
Come on you Eagles. Through thick and thin our resolve shall not falter. We brush off four goals and welcome the cocks of Tottenham to our ground this Saturday. Please join me once again at Fado at 9am to watch goals galore.
