‘Goal Of The Month contender’ – MOTD pundit has praise for Crystal Palace’s Conor Gallagher
Alan Shearer was impressed with new Crystal Palace signing Conor Gallagher as he bagged a brace in the their 2-2 draw against West Ham United yesterday.
Gallagher signed on a season-long loan for Palace from fellow Premier League club Chelsea in the summer.
Shearer told Match Of The Day: “He said he wants to be an all-round midfielder – and he showed that today he’s got it in his locker.
“We need to see more of this because that’s what it was, whether it was playing balls in behind, whether it was winning balls for his team in the midfield. He is setting Palace on the front foot. Or whether it was arriving into the box at just the right time. Perfect timing and that’s a really clever finish.
“Watch this goal here [second goal]. Touch with the right foot, flick with the left foot and then again the finish. That is without doubt one of the Goals Of The Month contenders. It’s a magnificent goal, the touch and then the ability to finish it off the way he did.
“Then Palace could’ve won it. It was a brilliant ball in by Gallagher and [Marc] Guehi should actually put that in the back of the net.
“They’ll expect more of that this season from him, very impressive.”
