This weekend Crystal Palace fans remembered a historic match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The match took place back in 1995 when they beat Wolves 4-1 at Molineux.
Chris Armstrong scored the match’s first goal in the 32nd minute before David Kelly tied things up for Wolves two minutes later. However, it was Iain Dowie who scored three minutes after Kelly to regain the lead for the Eagles.
Darren Pitcher scored Palace’s the third in the 45th minute and Armstrong scored his second in the 67th to put a Wolves comeback out of reach.
However, when Palace posted the highlights from this game on Twitter, fans were drooling over Pitcher’s goal in particular. His volley went sailing into the top corner. Others couldn’t believe the quality of all four finishes.

Would Darren Pitcher start for Palace right now?
Yes
No
What do we think?
We imagine that Crystal Palace fans are eager to see their current crop of players put on a display similar to the one they saw 25 years ago. However, they will likely settle for all three points in their next game, which would extend their winning streak to four in a row.
