Wilfried Zaha
Crystal Palace staged a brilliant comeback to win 4-3 at home to Burnley.
The Eagles were two goals down inside the first half hour but recovered to claim maximum points and extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
Burnley went ahead against the run of play in the 26th minute. Julian Speroni reacted well to push a shot from Junior Stanislas on to the post, but Chris McCann managed head the rebound in.
Three minutes later, the Clarets increased their lead through Martin Paterson whose hooked effort from an acute angle on the right side of the area flew into the net.
Palace pulled one back four minutes before the break when Andre Moritz fed Wilfried Zaha, who held off Kieran Trippier to fire home.
Zaha levelled the scores in the 53rd minute thanks to another assist from Brazilian midfielder Moritz.
Damien Delaney rifled Palace ahead for the first time from substitute Jonathan Williams' cross on 66 minutes.
Glenn Murray extended the Eagles' advantage to 4-2 by diverting Dean Moxey's low cross into the back of the net.
Charlie Austin grabbed a goal for Burnley with nine minutes left, but Palace held on to record a fourth successive league win for the first time since December 2007.
