He talked about it- Chris Richards on Jordan Ayew assist [VIDEO]

Life under new Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner got off to a brilliant start as The Eagles beat Burnley 3-1 in the English Premier League.

Glasner replaced Roy Hodgson as manager after the latter stepped down to health reasons and a downturn in the team’s form.

In the win, American defender Chris Richards scored his first goal of the season via a header in the 68^th minute with Ghana forward Jordan Ayew providing the assist.

Ayew went on to score Palace’s second goal in the win to cap off a brilliant performance; the former Aston Villa player scored in Palace’s 1-1 draw with Everton after Glasner was appointed as manager.

Speaking on the goal, Richards indicated that Jordan Ayew had planned to target a cross to the back post so when Jordan shaped to cross, his earlier message directed Richards where to run to.

“I think it was a very crucial goal in a very crucial game, so I’m very happy about it. Jordan was talking about hitting it back post the whole time…so I just tried to stay back post.”

The win is Palace’s seventh in 26 league games this season.
