Julian Speroni marks 400th Crystal Palace game with 'precious victory' over Watford in Premier League

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni's 400th appearance for the south London club started with him picking the ball out of the net in the third minute of their Premier league match against Watford at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.

The Argentine veteran looked set for a forgettable milestone, only for Palace to end the night equalising in the 89th minute and scoring a stoppage-time winner in a dramatic late turnaround that lifted them out of the relegation zone.

'We suffered a lot after the goal they scored so early in the match,' the 38-year-old told Reuters.
