Stoke City 1-2 Crystal Palace: Lee clinches victory with memorable strike

Crystal Palace claimed a 2-1 Premier League win at Stoke City thanks to a sublime Lee Chung-yong finish.

Lee Chung-yong came off the bench to earn Crystal Palace a 2-1 Premier League win with a superb strike at Stoke City.

The teams had scored a penalty apiece prior to Lee's 88th-minute scorcher, which he buried from just outside the penalty area after Stoke failed to clear from a corner.

Stoke edged the first half in terms of possession and chances, with Marco van Ginkel hitting the post from an Erik Pieters cross.

However, Glenn Whelan clumsily brought down Wilfried Zaha with halftime approaching, and Connor Wickham blasted home from 12 yards to send the visitors in front with his first goal for the club.
