Crystal Palace star Eze happy with brace in victory over Sheffield Utd

Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze showcased his talent for the Premier League club in midweek.

The attacking midfielder was pivotal for Roy Hodgson's side as they overcame Sheffield United.

Eze scored twice before Michael Olise got Palace a winner in a 3-2 success over the Blades.

He told Premier League Productions post-game: "I think they started sharp and whenever you're not up for it at the start you'll give the other team chances. But the boys did well to get the three points.

"We've got the ability and creativity in the team to get chances and score goals. We did well today.

"Whenever Michael [Olise] has the ball he's looking for the pass, I just got a good foot on it. The second one, if I get a good chance, I'm going to take it.

"I enjoy playing with him [Olise] because he's a top player. There's loads of other players in the team working hard to give us that space.

"I feel like there's loads to learn from this. We can't concede goals like that, especially at home. But that should give us confidence. We can create chances."
