Schlupp delighted scoring in Palace win against Burnley

Jeffery Schlupp was delighted with his goal in Crystal Palace's win against Burnley.

Schlupp struck after good work from Jordan Ayew.

“We literally spoke before game," Schlupp revealed in his post-match interview. “He said: 'Just make sure you come in at back post and I'll look for you.'

“As soon as I saw him win ball back and run into the box I just put my head down and just literally ran towards back-post, hoping he would pull it across and he did. I just gambled and it managed to be the perfect ball.

“I just thought to put my head down, trust Jordan to put it across box and he did. We managed to get the timing right and it was perfect."
