Crystal Palace Thrash Leeds 5-1 To Boost Survival Bid In Premier League

Crystal Palace recovered from one goal down to thrash Leeds 5-1 on Sunday.

Roy Hodgson’s side erased Patrick Bamford’s first-half opener with a superb display of counter-attacking at Elland Road.

Marc Guehi bagged an equalizer just before the break and Palace turned on the style after half-time with emphatic finishes from Jordan Ayew, who scored two goals, Eberechi Eze, and Odsonne Edouard.

Palace’s first win at Elland Road since 2006 lifted them six points clear of the relegation zone, while Leeds remains just two points adrift of the bottom three.

The South Londoners were without a win in 2023 before Hodgson replaced the sacked Patrick Vieira until the end of the season.
