Crystal Palace have been sorely lacking a proper finisher in front of goal in recent weeks.
But now, it looks like they might have found one.
January signing Jean-Philippe Mateta started up front against rivals Brighton on Monday night, and the man on loan from Mainz 05 opened the scoring with a filthy pirouette finish through goalkeeper Robert Sanchez’s legs.
Not bad for his first shot on target for the club …
Welcome to the Premier League.
