Crystal Palace produced a stunning second-half display to come from behind and thrash Leeds 5-1 at Elland Road to move six points clear of the drop zone and put the pressure on their relegation rivals
Palace had been on the ropes under a storm of pressure from the hosts until Marc Guehi prodded in an equaliser (45+1) from a set-piece just before half-time after Patrick Bamford headed Leeds in front with his 50th goal for the club (21)
Roy Hodgson's side were transformed in the second half and blew Leeds away with Michael Olise assisting three of the next four goals scored by Jordan Ayew (53, 77), Eberechi Eze (55) and Odsonne Edouard (69)
 Palace are up into 12th in the table with two wins from two under their returning manager
Leeds, meanwhile, have been dragged right back into a perilous position after Sunday's defeat and results going against them earlier in the weekend with Wolves, Bournemouth and West Ham picking up wins
 Javi Gracia's side now sit just two points above the relegation zone with eight games to go
Leeds made a bright start to the game and caught Palace cold at Elland Road as they dominated the first half
 Gracia's side recorded 10 shots which is their highest tally in the Premier League this season in an opening period
 Guehi's poor clearance nearly cost his side inside three minutes only for Luis Sinisterra's to pull his left-footed strike off target
Deputy goalkeeper Sam Johnstone was Palace's star performer in the first half as he made seven saves - denying Sinisterra and Brenden Aaronson from close range - but he could not keep out Bamford's header after 20 minutes
 The Leeds striker met Aaronson's outswinging corner to help it into the top corner and score his 50th goal for the club
Palace struggled to cause Leeds any problems in open play, but the warning signs were there from set-pieces with Jeffrey Schlupp and Ayew wasting chances
 But Guehi was clinical when presented with an opportunity, reacting quickest to Schlupp's initial contact after Olise's free-kick to equalise just before the break
Buoyed by their stoppage-time equaliser, Palace came out of the blocks in the second half with two quickfire goals from Ayew and Eze to leave Leeds chasing the game
 This opened things up for Palace, who ruthlessly struck on the break with Edouard to put the game out of reach
Olise, 21, assisted all three of these goals in the space of 16 minutes as he effortlessly picked Leeds off to become the youngest player to create a hat-trick of goals from open play in a Premier League game
 Ayew, who had scored just once this season prior to Sunday, added his second after picking up the scraps from substitute Will Hughes' blocked shot
Leeds capitulated, but it was a result of a fluid attacking display from Palace, who showed they can more than cope without their injured talisman Wilfried Zaha, recording their first win this season without the Ivorian in the starting line-up
As for Leeds, the second half will have alarm bells ringing at Elland Road ahead of a key month
Crystal Palace manager Hodgson said: "All you can do as a coach is give people the confidence to do the things you can see in training and not be affected by the noise outside when things aren't going your way
"It's not a magic wand type of situation
 It's a perfect start
 The training has been fantastic, the sun has been shining
 It's nice to be back
"Everything couldn't be better so far but I know there are different types of days ahead and one day I'll be answering very different questions
 I have to enjoy these moments as they won't last forever
"On Olise, he added: "Michael was spot on with everything in the second half
 He got it all right
"You saw what a wonderful player he is
 He's an enormous talent
 He's got a great possibility of having a wonderful future
 We can only hope that we give him a platform
"Crystal Palace forward Eze told Sky Sports: "It is a credit to everyone that has been putting in the work
 It has been a long time since we have been playing like this
"Palace forward Ayew added: "It is hard to explain
 We did a good game
 We started bit shaky but overall we kept on doing what we did last week
"We know we have quality going forward
 We are very quick, strong and skilful
 We created chances and managed to score these five goals
"Leeds boss Javi Gracia told : "It's unbelievable after that first half we had to finish like that
 We dominated the first half and created many chances
 We could have finished the game
"After we conceded before half-time everything changed
 We started very bad in the second half and didn't perform as well
"On what he said at half-time: "When we conceded the second goal, Palace played really well with the spaces
 They have very good players to run, to counter and to defend
 Palace were really tough for us
"We have to be really disappointed because the second half was very bad, the result as well is difficult to accept
 It's only a game
 We try to keep a positive mentality for the next game
"There's only one way, to work hard and try to understand why we conceded this result today and to try to come back as soon as possible to all the things we've been doing well
"We try to work hard this week to prepare for the next game
 I'd like to give the fans a better performance and result
"Leeds goalscorer Bamford told : "The first half was really good, we should have been more goals ahead
"The second half, we fell apart a bit
 It was a freak result and one we will move on from
"They scored the second goal and the third came really quick
 They punished us for mistakes
 It was one of those games where every mistake we made literally got punished
"In there the boys were, I don't want to say upbeat because we lost 5-1, but they understood that one game like that will not decide our season
