EDDIE NKETIAH savoured his first Premier League goal for Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening before expressing his wish to secure more game-time.

Nketiah, a £25 million acquisition from Arsenal in the summer, was introduced in the 86th minute at Selhurst Park and found the net with a poacher’s finish in stoppage time to seal a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa.

Ismaila Sarr had earlier opened the scoring for the hosts, with Morgan Rogers briefly restoring parity at the start of the second half before a Jean Phillipe-Mateta strike and Sarr’s second put the Eagles back in the ascendancy en route to their fifth win in seven league matches.
