Dwight Gayle was thrilled for Crystal Palace teammate Glenn Murray after he struck yet again in the Premier League on Monday night.

Murray is in great form after recovering from a knee injury which saw him sidelined for around nine months and continued his hot streak by netting the opening goal in the Eagles' 2-1 win over Manchester City at Selhurst Park.

It was Murray's fifth goals in five outings and prompted the following Twitter reaction from strike colleague Gayle.

Great result and performance by the lads today @GM_83 is on flames — dwight gayle (@dwightgayle) April 6, 2015

Murray's 34th-minute strike preceded Jason Puncheon's brilliant free-kick three minutes into the second half before Yaya Toure cut the deficit in half with just over 10 minutes remaining.
