Crystal Palace of England midfielder, Eberechi Eze scored a goal and provided an assist in The Eagles’ 2-0 victory over Sheffield United in Saturday’s English Premier League game, for which the former Queens Park Rangers dazzler was handed a starting role by Roy Hodgson and helped his side end their four-game winless run.
Megasportsarena.com reports that Eze has been delivering eye-catching performances since he arrived last summer from QPR and he was on fire again, as Palace wasted no time and utilized the first chance that came their way in the second minute.
Eze beat his markers before setting up Christian Benteke who fired a fine shot that was deflected into the back of the net, and The Eagles came close to double their lead in the 25th minute when the Nigerian-born lad unleashed a ferocious shot but his effort was blocked.
Schlupp also had a chance to put the ball into the back of the net in the 27th minute but goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was at the right place at the right time to save the effort, while Palace continued to push to double their lead after the restart of the second half but struggled to beat the compatible defense of Sheffield.
They, however, got a chance in the 88th minute when Eze dribbled past his markers before firing a shot that was deflected into the back of the net and the effort sealed Palace’s win and ensured they moved to 13th spot on the Premier League table with 41 points from 34 games.
Besides his goals, Eze made three passes, completed five dribbles, and had 55 touches on the ball for the duration he lasted, with four goals and five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions this season.
