Crystal Palace's Andros Townsend hails 'massive' win over Stoke City

Crystal Palace midfielder Andros Townsend says that his side's win over Stoke City was "massive" for the club.

Crystal Palace midfielder Andros Townsend has described his side's 4-1 win over Stoke City as a "massive result".

The former Newcastle United man, who netted the Eagles' fourth goal, said that he is confident his side can continue their good run of form after making it two wins on the bounce.

"We knew if we started fast, got in behind them and got crosses in we'd be a threat and it turned out that way," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"It's a massive result, we had a bad spell at the end of last season but back-to-back wins now, and we have the players, so no reason why we can't carry on."

The result sees Palace climb to eighth place in the Premier League table, while Stoke are rock bottom.
