They're the days which make being a football fan all worth it – the occasions which repay all the patience, the faith and love we invest in our clubs.
Crystal Palace's win at Anfield is certain to go down in the history books as one of, if not the, highlight of our 2023/24 season – both for the final result, but also the remarkable nature of the performance.
The Eagles were near faultless to a man against the Premier League title challengers, setting a number of records as they came away with a 1-0 victory thanks to Ebere Eze's first-half matchwinner.

Fantasique, indeed, Jean-Philippe. Fantastique.
The manager lived every kick, saying at full-time: “I was proud to be the manager of this team.”
A super Sunday indeed for everyone in red and blue.
It was a colossal display from the repositioned Colombian.
Super reactions on the pitch…
... and off it.
It might well have been an instinctive reaction to his own team falling behind early on.
But we’ll choose to interpret this very clear “wow” as testament to the quality of the goal that won the day at Anfield, with 21 passes in the build-up – sharp, quick play with a devastating finish.
Crystal Palace, take a bow.
There’s no denying that this has been a challenging season at times – but days like Sunday are a pay-off for your unwavering faith and support.
As the crowds at Anfield bellowed at full-time, “we love you, we love you, we love you…”
