Crystal Palace attacker Schlupp: Victory over Lyon a good test

Crystal Palace attacker Jeffrey Schlupp says they go into the new season in good shape.

Palace defeated Lyon 2-0 on Saturday.

Schlupp, who struck on the day, told Palace TV: “We knew it was going to be a good test.

“Out of all the pre-season games, this was the perfect one to prepare us for next week – the first game in the [23/24] Premier League – so we got the win that we wanted and we're ready for next week.

“Obviously we're looking at stats and everyone's come through the games really well. We've managed to get some good minutes into the legs – good games, good prep, and I think we're all confident and ready to go next week.

“The game against Sevilla was really good. The actual performance was really good, positive. We took that into today. I thought we controlled today. We did as much as we needed to.

“We scored two goals, could have been more, so again, it was good preparation for next week and we're full of confidence. We'll look forward to it."
