It's almost 30 years since our first visit to Selhurst Park in the Premier League era - a 3-1 win on 30 January, 1993 - and it's been home to some sweet Spurs strikes in 13 league matches in SE25 since.

Here are five to remember...

Jurgen Klinsmann - Palace 1-1 Spurs - 14.04.1995

Jurgen Klinsmann proved an instant hit both at Spurs and in the Premier League back in 1994/95. Signed from AS Monaco, the superstar German striker struck a lethal partnership with Teddy Sheringham, the pair netting 52 goals between them, including 38 in the Premier League. Jurgen scored 20 of them, including a delicious free-kick into the postage stamp from 25 yards in this 1-1 draw in April, 1995. Jurgen's performances were recognised with the prestigious Footballer Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award for 1994/95 - and it wouldn't be the last time he'd strike at Selhurst Park...

Jurgen Klinsmann - Palace 1-3 Spurs - 28.03.98

Jurgen was back at the Club half-way through the 1997/98 season with us in a bit of a pickle. Indeed, when he returned from Sampdoria, we were in the Premier League's bottom three, and slipped to 19th with defeat at United on 10 January, 1998. Improved displays towards the end of March lifted us up to 17th, including a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park on 28 March. Jurgen provided the assist for Nicola Berti's header, Chris Armstrong's diving header made it 2-0 and Jurgen grabbed the third with a textbook finish, played through by Moussa Saib, he drew goalkeeper Kevin Miller before calmly lifting over him into the corner. That wasn't Jurgen's final chapter at Selhurst Park - he famously scored four goals in a 6-2 win against Wimbledon in May to put any lingering relegation fears to bed.

Dele Alli - Palace 1-3 Spurs - 23.01.2016

The pick of this bunch, Dele at his best and the winner of BBC Match of the Day's Goal of the Season for 2015/16, this was a special goal from a player who contributed 10 goals from 33 appearances as we finished third in the Premier League. It was a game worthy of the goal, as well, as we came from behind to strike three times in the final 30 minutes for the 3-1 win. Harry Kane's header started the comeback on 63 minutes as the game went end to end - Palace struck the crossbar twice, and Hugo Lloris somehow denied Wilfried Zaha - before Dele's masterpiece put us in front. Still only 19, Dele controlled Christian Eriksen's headed pass, flicked the ball over Mile Jedinak and then volleyed home from 25 yards. And there was still time for another beauty...

Nacer Chadli - Palace 1-3 Spurs - 23.01.2016

Dele didn't have the final word in this cracker at Selhurst Park. Instead, that went to Nacer Chadli with another goal to grace any occasion. This time, the Belgian forward picked the ball up on the left touchline, held off the attentions of Mile Jedinak before pulling the trigger from 30 yards, an inch-perfect curler wide of Wayne Hennessey's dive into the corner. The result moved us up to fourth, hot on the heels of Arsenal and City, all trying - as it turned out, in vain - to catch Leicester City.

Christian Eriksen - Palace 0-1 Spurs - 26.04.2017

Another huge result in SE25, another belter of a goal- when it mattered. This was Christian Eriksen at his best, a sweet strike after 78 minutes of a game we'd dominated and had to win to stay in touch with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League with five matches remaining in 2016/17. This was win number eight on the trot of that quest, and we'd eventually finish second, unbeaten at home in our final season at White Hart Lane, with a Club record points tally of 86. This was also Christian's 14th goal from outside the box since joining us in 2013, picking the ball up centrally, 35 yards out, he unleashed from 30, the ball zipping past Wayne Hennessey and home.
