Andros Townsend wins December Goal of the Month for 35-yard wonder strike vs Man City

Andros Townsend has scooped the Premier League Goal of the Month award for December, following his sublime volleyed effort against Manchester City at the Etihad.

Townsend scored in what was one of the shocks of the season, as Palace battled against the reigning champions in their own back yard and took a 3-2 victory.

Townsend's goal was the jewel on the crown, catching the ball in the sweetest way possible on the volley from around 35-yards out.
