London: Oliver Glasner was really happy with Eddie Nketiah’s performance after he came off the bench to help Crystal Palace win 2-0 against West Ham. It was a solid Premier League match on Saturday.
Nketiah, who joined from Arsenal for £30 million, is still looking for his first goal with the Eagles. But he made a big difference at the London Stadium, drawing a penalty that led to Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring.
He came on in the 78th minute, replacing Eberechi Eze. Glasner noted that players were getting tired, especially with the busy schedule and some being under the weather.
He mentioned that they had to manage the game carefully, especially since West Ham was starting to take control. But with fresh legs like Nketiah’s, they pushed back into West Ham’s half.
Glasner praised Nketiah’s character, saying he almost scored right away. He sprinted 60 meters to earn the penalty, showing his determination. Overall, he was pleased with the impact of all the substitutes that day.
