He’s so ambitious and is working very hard, which he got the reward for today. ‘One of our slogans is: If you invest, you get something back.

Well done, Eddie.’ Nketiah returned the compliments to his boss, saying: ‘He’s amazing. I feel like we’re all fighting, we all want to push and do well. ‘It’s a really nice environment and a good place for young players to improve and develop, that’s what you want to do, work every day and achieve great things together.’ Crystal Palace are now the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, having won three and drawn three of their first six contests.
