Ben Mountain chats to the man whose goal kick-started the Eagles’ stunning win against Manchester City last month as he reflects on that memorable afternoon in the north-west.

Foster has been one of the signings of the season since returning to Vicarage Road after unsuccessfully preventing West Brom from relegation. He initially played for Watford between 2005 and 2007 on loan from Manchester United and while there helped them to Premier League promotion, earned his first England cap and was voted Player of the Year in 2006/07. He was man of the match in both United’s 2009 and Birmingham City’s 2011 League Cup triumphs before spending seven years with Albion. WFC Games: 102 WFC Goals: 0

This season has seen the left-back turn into a unlikely goalscorer with three goals to his name, including the winner against Palace in August. The German-born Greece international boasts UEFA Champions League experience from his time at Olympiakos - where he won four league titles and two Greek Cups - and a solitary season at Roma before he moved to Vicarage Road. Holebas has also won 38 caps for his country including games at Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014. WFC Games: 95 WFC Goals: 5
