Strand Larsen wins Palace’s 2025/26 Goal of the Season for semi-final stunner

Announcement

24 May 2026

Jørgen Strand Larsen’s goal in the Conference League semi-final win over Shakhtar Donetsk has been announced as Crystal Palace's 2025/26 Goal of the Season.

January signing Strand Larsen produced the culmination of a cutting Palace counter-attack in the first leg away in Krakow, a huge moment in the tie.

With the scoreline 2-1 at the time, Strand Larsen’s goal gave the Eagles a two-goal cushion on aggregate – and they memorably went on to finish the job in style back at Selhurst Park a week later.

The striker feigned to shoot, chopped inside a defender – and then lifted a delightfully delicate finish over the advancing keeper for his first-ever goal in European competition.

In a season packed full of memorable goals, particularly on our continental adventure, Strand Larsen’s strike is a worthy winner.

Upon winning the award, Strand Larsen said: "It was a great goal! I'm hoping for more next season.

"I'm just grateful to be here, I love the fans and the atmosphere and hopefully next season there'll be more of that!"

The award was presented to the Norway international following our final game of the season against Arsenal.

Full highlights of the awards will follow on Palace TV soon.

Congratulations, Jørgen!
