Is this goal of the season? Matt Phillips scores 40-YARD screamer for QPR against Crystal Palace

The former Blackpool winger hit one from all of 40 yards at Selhurst Park, but it wasn't enough as Rangers slipped to a 3-1 defeat against the Eagles

QPR were left deep in the relegation mire after yet another defeat - but Matt Phillipsmay well have scored the goal of the season at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace came out on top 3-1 in the Premier League's lunchtime kick-off, but Phillips' second half consolation goal took the headlines.

Phillips’ strike was the goal from the longest distance in the Premier League this season at 40 yards.

He picked the ball up on halfway, strode forward a few yards and unleashed an unstoppable drive into Julian Speroni's top right-hand corner.

Unfortunately for Phillips, first half goals from Wilfried Zaha, James McArthur and Joel Ward for Palace had already ended the game as a contest.

Rangers could be left six points adrift of safety after the weekend's fixtures have been completed.

BPL : Arsenal 2-1 QPR

Alexis Sanchez and Tomas Rosicky goals seal win as OIivier Giroud sees red for headbutting Nedum Onuoha

• Alexis Sanchez saw an early first half penalty saved by Rob Green, after being fouled by Armand Traore
• Sanchez rectified his miss by putting the Gunners ahead on 37 minutes following a Kieran Gibbs cross
• Olivier Giroud was shown a straight red card early after the interval for headbutting Nedum Onuoha
• Tomas Rosicky doubled the hosts lead on 65 minutes with a neat side-footed finish following Sanchez's pass
• Charlie Austin pulled one back for the visitors from the penalty spot on 79 minutes

Arsene Wenger shook his head and fumed quietly as he watched Olivier Giroud disappear down the tunnel having been sent off for butting Nedum Onuoha. For once, his look said more than his words.

This was Wenger's 600th win as Arsenal manager and his 400th in the Barclays Premier League and, having toiled through a seemingly never-ending injury crisis, he could have done without this flash of idiocy from his senior centre forward.

Giroud is fortunate his team-mates were able to escape with three points, although it was a tense and anxious finale against a team without a point away from home all season.
