Crystal Palace striker Odsonne Edouard hailed the performance of Jefferson Lerna after victory at Sheffield United.

Lerna impressed for the 1-0 win - courtesy of Edouard's goal.

The Frenchman said, "He was very, very good today.

"He's a midfielder we need.

"He will give a lot of confidence for the attacking players to go forward because he wins so many duels and is so good on the ball. I hope he keeps playing like this."
