Quiz! Can you name the first goalscorer for every Premier League club in 2017/18?

There’s nothing like watching a player score your team's first league goal of the season; sunshine, crisp new kit, the feeling of optimism still fresh. That is, unless your first goal is a late consolation when you’re 4-0 down in the season opener. Or if you’re Crystal Palace last time out.

Yep, while most Premier League clubs broke their deadlock in their first game of the season, a few drew a blank and had to wait for their second, third or even fourth game. Amateur stuff compared to the Eagles. It took until their eighth game before a Palace player finally scored a goal – a fact which actually makes their eventual survival even more remarkable.

We’ve put five minutes on the clock for you to leap back a year in time. Let us know how you get on @FourFourTwo – we’ll retweet the best scores if you don’t give answers away. Please challenge some friends while you’re at it too.
