Andros Townsend wins Goal of the Year award

Crystal Palace's Andros Townsend has won Goal of the Year at the London Football Awards.

Townsend picked up the accolade for his astonishing volley in the Eagles' 3-2 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City.

The goal was one of several last year which have lingered in the memory from the 27-year-old.

Collecting the award last night in Battersea, Townsend said: "It's a huge honour for me. It was a special occasion for myself, for Crystal Palace. To get a win at the Etihad is no mean feat. It's a goal and a win I'll never forget for the rest of my career.
