Eberechi Eze was delighted to prove Crystal Palace’s matchwinner against Leeds United.
He wheeled away in relief and delight at scoring and after some intelligent match management had secured Palace three points.
Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, the No.10 explained his thought process during the goal: “Obviously I’ve gone past the player and it’s just me and the ‘keeper,” he said. “To be calm and be composed is all I wanted to do and I put it into the corner, which is good.
“It’s been a while. We’ve been working hard and putting in the performances and it’s good to get rewarded today.”
Michael Olise joined Eze for the interview. He bagged an assist in the first-half by lifting a free-kick brilliantly towards Odsonne Edouard at the far post.
He said: “We just kept doing the right things… The fans are brilliant. We just work hard so we can get points for them.”
