Goal of the season? Matt Phillips launches a rocket from 40 yards image

This might just be the goal of the season.

In what was yet another dismal showing for QPR, who are amongst the bottom feeders in the English Premier League, Matt Phillips saved them from losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace with a miraculous goal in the weaning moments of the game.

In the 83rd minute, the 24-year-old launched a rocket from over 40-yards out that flew past Julian Speroni's head into the top right corner.

Even though the goalkeeper was on his line, there's nothing he could've done to stop Phillips' goal.

Even if relegation is on the cards for QPR, they will always have Phillips' goal.
