Andros Townsend Wins Premier League Goal of the Season Award for Screamer Against Man City

Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend has won the Carling Goal of the Season award for his strike against Manchester City in December.

His stunning 35 yard volley against the Premier League champions was enough to stand out among a ten goal shortlist released by the Premier League last week.

Townsend's rocket into the top corner helped his Palace side to a huge 3-2 victory at the Etihad in December, which turned out to be City's only home defeat of the season.

The former England international's incredible first time strike was considered better than Vincent Kompany's screamer against Leicester on the penultimate match day of the season.
