I've you've followed Crystal Palace in the Premier League, as I for some peculiar reason have been doing, you would know that they are commonly goal-scoring-challenged. So even though Leeds United is a new addition to the League this year and thus not one of the giants, still, when CP scored four, I was more than a little surprised.
The game was closer than the score indicated, partly because of a very tight offsides call made by VAR (Video-Assisted-Referee or some such). Basically the Leeds player who scored was deemed to have a shoulder offside. The goal would have knotted the score at 1-1, but it didn't, and CP scored soon after. They've got a very talented new player, Eberechi Eze, who scored a strong free kick for his first goal on the team.
Because it was such a surprising scoreline for Palace, I've got the whole 12.5-minute highlights video here. Crystal Palace is currently in 8th place, tied in points with Everton and Wolverhampton, and with a goal differential of exactly 0. Those four points sure helped there.
