QPR’S MATT PHILLIPS has put himself in contention for goal of the season in the early Premier League game at Selhurst Park today.

The Rs were trailing Crystal Palace 3-0 when Phillips picked up possession just inside the opposition’s half and advanced forward before letting an unstoppable 45-yard strike fly past Julian Speroni and into the top corner.

It’s just as impressive from another angle:

Wilfried Zaha had opened the scoring for the home side by arriving late to bundle home Yannick Bolasie’s cross on 21 minutes.

After getting a vital touch, Zaha’s momentum took him towards the end line, where he crashed into the post a full speed.

Painful-looking, but it could have been a lot worse. Just ask Phil Babb…

Just before half-time, James McArthur and Joel Ward both found the back of the net to put Palace 3-0 up and, ultimately, earn them the three points.
