Alan Pardew hails "amazing" Lee Chung-yong winner

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is full of praise for Lee Chung-yong after his "amazing" goal minutes from time earns the side all three points at Stoke City.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has praised Lee Chung-yong for 'bringing the house down' after his last-gasp stunner won all three points at Stoke City.

The Eagles had led through Connor Wickham's first-half penalty but looked to be destined to share the spoils when Bojan Krkic hit back for the hosts with a penalty of their own 15 minutes from time.

Lee popped up with a fierce shot into the top-left corner of the goal with two minutes of normal time remaining to earn his side the win, however, putting the Eagles level with the top four on goal difference and maintaining their impressive away record that has seen them win 11 of their last 16 league games away from Selhurst Park.

"Amazing, wasn't it?" said Pardew afterwards. "It was a really great technical goal because his control to hit that side-footed, with that power, against the wind, was amazing. It obviously brought the house down on our bench.

"He can score goals - usually not from as far back as that, more of a taking people on and weaving his way through type of goals. I'm delighted for him. He's one of the most popular players in our dressing room. The lads are absolutely delighted for him."

Lee joined Palace from Bolton Wanderers in February but has found himself behind Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie in the pecking order.
