Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie has hailed the impact of manager Tony Pulis.

Bolasie remembers the impact Pulis made on his first day as Crystal Palace manager.

"Everyone just went 'wow'," says the winger, eyes wide. "It was no long speeches, it was short and sweet. We knew he was serious. He told us he had never been relegated, he stated that fact on his first day. He gave us belief and soul."

He also told the London Evening Standard: "He has to be up there for Manager of the Year. Every pundit had written us off, said we'd be relegated by Christmas. Secretly we all thought it would be a long season, especially the way the results were going. The gaffer has changed a lot and we are playing unbelievably."
