Not only was the game on but it also contained one of the most sensational goals ever witnessed at Selhurst. Moses saved a point for the Palace with an unbelievable 18-yard overhead kick straight into the top corner of the net. It was a good job he did aswell as his more experienced colleagues queued up to miss guilt-edge chances; probably the most guilty being Darren Ambrose who boasted a third minute penalty miss.
Claude Davis, Clint Hill and Alan Lee also missed chances and we were made to pay when Barnsley scored with their first real opportunity as is the way with visiting sides at Selhurst now.
Luckily Moses rescued a point shortly after the break and secured a very good result in the circumstances although admittedly it could have been much better against a Barnsley side who came with a bemusing game plan to shut up shop and stifle our midfield.
His moment of brilliance will once again set Premier League tongues wagging as the January transfer window edges closer and closer. Neil Warnock was certainly reiterating the fact we are selling the player in his post match press conference:"What can you say that I've not said before? I look at the top of the Premiership and think there must be something wrong if they do not come down (to look at him).
"He's finally clicked because he is doing the mucky bits of football now. He's doing the hard graft and you cannot get anywhere without doing that.
"He is now tackling back. He will remember me in years to come when I am asking him for tickets. I would pay money to watch Victor at the moment."
But we can't dwell on the fact we will lose Victor we must instead enjoy him while we have him and savour moments like this as a few years down the line when he's starting for England, you can say you watched him when he started.
