Patrick Vieira was full of praise post-match for the Crystal Palace’s man of the moment, Michael Olise, who he believes is ‘still growing as a player.’
Olise’s wondrous 94th minute winner against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon sent the Palace fans at the London Stadium wild, with his sumptuous curling effort from the outside the box, looping over the helpless Łukasz Fabianksi to reward Palace with a vital three points.
The London-born 20-year-old has struggled for consistent game-time since making the switch from Reading in the summer of 2021, but his impact when he has featured is unquestionable. This season Olise has started just 54% of games for the Eagles but has an impressive goal involvement of 20%.
