Schlupp, Jordan Ayew and Townsend celebrate after a goal
Ghanaian international Jeffery Schlupp marked his 100th appearance for Crystal Palace with an assist in his team’s 3-1 Premier League victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The 27-year-old winger was given the starting job by coach Roy Hodgson for the second week of the game in a role and he duly repaid the faith that was imposed on him with an assist for Andros Townsend, who put Palace in the lead in the seventh. minute of the meeting.
By the way, the scorer was also marking his 300th appearance in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace managed to take that early lead at the halftime break despite completing the first half with just 25% of possession.
Back from recess, Manchester United continue to bring the game to the Eagles, but it was the visitors who doubled their lead through Wilfred Zaha, who selected himself to resume a penalty shot previously missed by Ghanaian Jordan Ayew.
The Red Devils managed to win one back through Newboy Donny Van De Beek, but Zaha had the last word with a brilliant solo goal to deliver maximum points alongside Roy Hodgson.
Schlupp saw 75 minutes of action for Palace before being replaced by Nigerian Eberechi Eze, while compatriot Jordan Ayew played 81 minutes.
