Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp is hopeful his goalscoring cameo against Aston Villa in the Premier League will please Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira.
Schlupp came off the bench to struck an 82nd-minute equaliser as Palace fought back for a 1-1 draw at Villa Park on Sunday.
England striker Ollie Watkins, who was a doubt for the game after sustaining an ankle injury against Liverpool in midweek, had put the hosts ahead with his first attempt in the 69th minute of the game.
"I think he’ll be happy with that," Schlupp said in his post-match interview as quoted by the club's official website. [The instructions were] just to come on, to try and impact the game and I managed to do that straight away.
"It was a bit of instinct. I thought: ‘If I gamble on a second ball it might fall to me’. I think there were maybe two phases in between.
"I thought: ‘If someone gets a flick on here then maybe I can get in at the back post and I managed to do that."
Jeffrey Schlupp, who is now fully fit is hoping to feature in the last few matches of the team as he targets a return to the national team in the upcoming international assignments.
