Palace pair Edouard and Mateta happy playing together

Crystal Palace pair Odsonne Edouard and Jean-Philippe Mateta admit they enjoy playing together.

Edouard scored twice in victory over Wolves on Sunday, with Mateta's second-half introduction making an impact.

Edouard told the club's website: “When JP came on, we played 4-4-2. I played as a second striker. When I had the ball, I looked for JP and when he had the ball, he looked for me. I managed to score – it was a nice goal.

“He made a great impact, huh? Two assists…

“It was a great game from the team. The most important thing was the win, and we take it."

Mateta added: “There's big competition. He's a good guy and it's fair, you know. A good striker, when he has the chance he scores, when I have the chance I score!"
