Off he went, running over to that famous corner of the Holmesdale Road stand at Selhurst Park to celebrate yet another stunning goal for Crystal Palace.
Moments earlier, Wilfried Zaha had scored his fourth goal in as many Premier League games this season to continue the best spell of his top-flight career. It was some goal as well, finding an inch of space with three Brentford players closing in before bending a superb shot into the top corner to give Palace the lead.
Unfortunately for Zaha, Brentford battled back to claim a late 1-1 draw, but the Ivorian superstar certainly enjoyed the celebration, jumping for joy and gesturing towards his fans as the Eagles faithful serenaded their local hero. Zaha's delight showed just how much he loves playing in the red and blue shirt and it was a poignant moment too, given that this goal came against the backdrop of speculation linking him with an exit before the window slams shut on Thursday.
