Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner praised Jean-Philippe Mateta after defeat to Manchester City.

Mateta scored in the 4-2 defeat today.

Glasner said: “JP is in very good shape. He scores goals, he has confidence and he makes these runs in behind. This was the topic of the analysis: make the runs in behind, because they play very high and he did it. And then we know that he has speed, he has pace and a great finish.

“But I don't want to talk about single players after a game because somebody has to win the ball before, somebody has to solve the situation because they go into counter-press. We played three times with one touch, and Adam Wharton had an excellent pass with one touch in behind.

“JP is the guy who scores but there are also some other players involved in the whole situation."
