Glasner thriving at Crystal Palace after rollercoaster run of emotions

Oliver Glasner comes across as one of the Premier League’s more measured managers, although sometimes he can’t help himself. When Daniel Muñoz scored Crystal Palace’s second goal at Craven Cottage on Saturday, the Austrian was one of the first to join the celebrations after sprinting down the touchline and was handed a yellow card for his efforts. It was the second time Glasner has been cautioned for the same offence after the Colombia defender’s late equaliser against Newcastle in November sparked similar scenes.

“I try to be quite controlled but to be honest I don’t always find the midway point,” said Glasner, who marked the first anniversary of his appointment with a fourth straight Premier League away victory. “I like these emotions and I think it’s one of the main reasons that I like being a manager because you get all these emotions sometimes within a game. You can go from marriage to divorce three times in the same game … I hope that I will never have that in life – I’m married only once and I’m pretty sure and happy that it will last for my whole life!”
