Best ever goals at Selhurst Park

This one, I was standing in the Holmesdale end right behind the chip & couldn't take my eyes off of it -

Just googled the details - 1980

In the 27th minute of a League Division One match at Selhurst Park, Jim Cannon swung the ball out to Nicholas on the flank. Noticing Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey was off his line, Nicholas hit a looping, curling chip aimed for the far post that dipped into the top corner.

This was my favourite goal - I still think I can see my curly locks standing on the holmesdale when I’ve previously found a clip of this goal. (Old clips on modern devices not so clear)
 
Dean Gordon, against Derby. Turned defeat into a draw in injury-time, an absolute belter from a long way out, top bins. 1993?
What a player he was. Looked him up and in 201 games he scored 20 goals. A significantly better return than our entire midfield recently.
His son is currently playing for Southampton.
 
This is my answer as well - was sat right behind it and the movement on the ball was ridiculous


In terms of Palace goals, Victor Moses scored a brilliant bicycle kick against Barnsley which always stuck in my memory

That’s him, Matty Phillips, I was sitting right behind that as well as it flew in 😎
