Crystal Palace supporters have voted the club's 3-3 draw with Liverpool as their greatest game in the Premier League.

Fans cast their vote to mark Crystal Palace's 500th game in the Premier League today against Aston Villa.

Over 3,000 supporters picked their favourite Premier League outing from a list of 30, with a huge 42% voting for 'Crystanbul'.

The night went down in Palace history when the Eagles hosted a title-chasing Liverpool at Selhurst.

The south Londoners were 3-0 down inside 55 minutes and the crowd consigned itself to defeat as the Reds closed-in on a return to victorious ways after a rampant winning run of 11 ended the game before against Chelsea.

Victory was crucial for Brendan Rodgers' men, and their three-goal advantage kept them in the race for their first league title since 1990.

Palace fought-back from near-certain defeat after a deflected long-range effort from Damien Delaney and a Dwight Gayle brace sent Selhurst into raptures, bringing their final home game of their Premier League return to a close.

It was a fitting end to a season that saw Palace consolidate their Premier League status for the first time with an 11th-place finish, defying the odds as relegation favourites after nine losses from their opening 10.

Crystanbul beat two clashes with Manchester City to be named supporters' greatest Premier League game. The 2018/19 3-2 win at the Etihad came second with 18.8% of the vote, and this season's 2-0 triumph finished third with 8.6%.

You can see a full break-down of results below – and, who knows, perhaps today's 500th Premier League outing will be worthy of Crystanbul's perch.
