Crystal Palace staged a remarkable second-half turnaround to give a significant boost to their Premier League survival hopes and leave stunned Leeds with plenty of work to do in their own bid to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n

The Eagles scored four goals after the break with Jordan Ayew \u2013 in for the injured Wilfried Zaha \u2013 scoring two in an incredible demolition of the home side.<\/p>\n

Such a victory looked hugely unlikely after Patrick Bamford\u2019s 50th goal for the club gave Leeds the reward their early dominance deserved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But from then on it all went downhill as Marc Guehi flicked in an equaliser on the stroke of half-time before Palace scored two goals in two minutes soon after the break.<\/p>\n

First, Ayew made it 2-1 with an excellent header before Eberechi Eze added a quick third, poking in from Michael Olise\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n

Odsonne Edouard drove a fourth into the bottom corner following a quick counter and Ayew completed the rout late on when he lifted a shot over Illan Meslier, prompting many Leeds fans to leave.<\/p>\n

The stunning win moves Crystal Palace up to 12th in the Premier League, six points clear of the relegation zone, while Leeds are 16th, just two points above the drop.<\/p>\n
