Odsonne Edouard was pleased to get on the scoresheet against Fulham on Saturday – but even happier with several other aspects of the afternoon.

  • The Frenchman scored his first Palace goal since last month’s win over Leeds United – and seventh of the season overall – to put the Eagles ahead against a high-flying Fulham side.

The hosts would come from behind to take the lead through Aleksandar Mitrović’s brave, but Joel Ward’s late poacher’s finish gave Palace an important point in their bid to finish ahead of Chelsea in 11th.

“Edouard told Premier League Productions: “We didn’t give up until the last minute, and I think it was good. It was good for the team to take at least one point today.

“I was happy to start today. I’m a striker so I need to score some goals! I scored one goal today so I am happy, but the most important thing is we played well collectively and managed to take the points, so it’s good

On his side’s impressive late-season run of form, Edouard added: “I think it’s more free [to play].

“[On Ebere Eze] as players, we need confidence, and when he gets the confidence, he’s one of the best midfielders in the league, so it’s very good for Ebs and I hope he will keep playing like this – at least for the last game!

“[Personally] I feel well. I feel well on the pitch. I have more confidence like all the team. We are more free, so this is good, and I hope we can keep pushing and take the three points next week.
