Odsonne Edouard ends six month goal drought as ex-Celtic striker scores in stunning Palace comeback

Odsonne Edouard has slammed in a top finish as the former Celtic striker broke his goal duck for Crystal Palace.

The French forward has found life at the Eagles up and down especially in this campaign. Edouard had not scored since October despite making 14 appearances since notching in the only goal in a win against Southampton last year. The 25-year-old made a big money move from Parkhead in the summer of 2021 but has found tough competition for places.

Now under Roy Hodgson once again, mid table Palace produced a top second half performance to down a struggling Leeds United with Edouard slamming home the fourth goal with a top finish.

The ex-PSG man took the ball just inside the 18-yard box and rifled past Meslier to break a goal duck that lasted over six months. It had been over 160 days since he netted.

But the striker was then taken off moments later with a slight knock as Edouard will hope he can continue his momentum until the end of the campaign. His celebration, however, of tapping his wrist may have indicated he thought it was high time for him to bag a goal.
