Ghana’s Jeffery Schlupp reveals his memorable Crystal Palace game

Published on: 30 April 2024

Ghana international Jeffery Schlupp has settled on Crystal Palace’s triumph against Manchester City during the 2022/23 season as his memorable game for the club.

The former Black Stars versatile player registered his name on the scoresheet as Palace cruised to a 3-2 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in December 2022.

The Ghana international was on target for Palace on Sunday as the Eagles salvaged a point against Fulham and extended their unbeaten run to four matches.

“There have been some great moments. Those night games against Arsenal at home, they were special,” he told Crystal Palace's media. “But Manchester City, obviously. Everyone only talks about Andros [Townsend’s] goal – I happen to have scored a goal in that game! It was a massive win, 3-2 away from home," he added.

“It was a good goal as well! But when Andros does that, I can’t blame him," continued Schlupp as he recounted his former teammate's belter against City.

“Our record is reasonably good, but it’s never been easy,” he admits. “We’ve gone there and got some good results, but to get good results you need to have luck on your side. You make your own luck, I guess, but with teams like that you almost need more.

“They’ve had players sent off before and we’ve gone on to win, but our record is pretty good compared to other teams. We came back from 2-0 down in December and we could have won it in the end.”

Schlupp has managed two goals and provided three assists in 31 games across competitions this season.
