Crystal Palace 2-1 Manchester City

Alan Pardew is convinced that British managers do not get the credit they deserve when they beat the best teams in the country. Read on, Alan, read on.

In this remarkable season, which started as manager of Newcastle United and will end in charge of Crystal Palace, he has toppled four of the very best. He claims he could do a better job and he is right.

Manchester City (twice), Tottenham (twice), Chelsea and Liverpool have all been unpicked by Pardew at various stages of the season. This one, against the champions of England, has to be the best of the lot.
