Joachim Andersen eyeing more goals after stunner for Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen is targeting more goals after his stunning winner against Manchester United on Saturday.

Anderson’s sweet finish gave Palace a 1-0 at Old Trafford and piled more misery on Erik ten Hag.

“It was unbelievable to win at Old Trafford”, said Andersen.

“That goal is something I’ll remember. It’s something that I need to improve on. I need to score more goals because I’m capable of scoring goals. I have the desire to score. I think I have a pretty good strike actually. I hit it really well. Amazing goal!”

Palace have made a strong start to the season under Roy Hodgson and face Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday before the international break.

Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone said: “We put a great team performance in, stuck to our plan and we got the rewards.

“It wasn’t going to be easy at a place like this. They’re a good team and good players, but we worked really hard and the result went our way, which was brilliant.

“It was a weird one, coming here on Tuesday and then again on a Saturday, but we probably didn’t put the correct performance in on Tuesday and we wanted to put that behind us, put it right and show everyone that we’re a better team than we showed on Tuesday.

“We worked hard. The lads dug in. it was tough, but we got the result, which makes it better."
