In a must-win game for Stoke, the forward stepped up when he was needed. The 'Potters' had been arguably the worse of the two sides in the first half of the Premier League clash against Palace, but Shaqiri put them 1-0 up just before half-time.
The Swiss attacker won a free-kick in a dangerous area after he was fouled by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and he was the man who stepped up to take the set-piece.
Shaqiri stood over it, before curling a beauty of a free-kick into the top-right corner, past the gloves of Wayne Henessey. It took a slight deflection off Loftus-Cheek, but the home fans couldn't care less, and they showed their relief at the key goal.
