Odsonne Edouard reveals 'crazy' Crystal Palace start as ex Celtic star gushes about Patrick Vieira

Odsonne Edouard couldn't be happier after his flying start to life at Crystal Palace.

But the former Celtic hitman isn't resting on his laurels as he's vowed to show "the best league in the world" how it's done.

Edouard netted twice on his debut for the Selhurst Park side as he emerged from the bench late on to put Tottenham to the sword.

He's netted just once since then - against Arsenal - but he's won the hearts of Palace fans with his bustling performances that have recently come from the left wing.

He's become one of the first names on the teamsheet for countryman Patrick Vieira and admits it's been "crazy" coming to terms with life in the Premier League.

He told Sky Sports : "It's been crazy for me. Unbelievable.

"I don't believe what I did (against Tottenham).

"I received a lot of texts from my friends and family, I was very happy.

"But now I have to work hard to score more goals.

"I played in Ligue 1 when I was young, I played in the Scottish league for four years, but the Premier League isn't the same. It's the best league in the world."
