Oliver Glasner was not worried about his future at Crystal Palace, even though his team secured their first victory of the 2024-25 Premier League season with a 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park.
The winning goal came in the 31st minute when Jean-Philippe Mateta scored his fifth goal of the season. Eberechi Eze set up the goal with a clever backheel after a cross from Daniel Munoz, allowing Mateta to score with a left-footed shot.
Despite having opportunities to score more goals in the second half, Palace had to settle for the one goal. Mateta’s strike was enough to secure their first Premier League win of the season after a tough start where they only managed to collect three points from their first eight games.
Glasner expressed his confidence in his job, stating that he always had a good relationship with the sporting director and the chairman. He believed that the team’s performances were satisfactory, but they were missing the courage, intensity, and bravery they showed in the match against Tottenham.
The coach praised his players for staying calm during the winless run and finally getting the reward they deserved with the victory. The team’s determination and resilience paid off, and Glasner was proud of how they handled the pressure.
Overall, the win against Tottenham was a significant moment for Crystal Palace, and it showed that they have the potential to turn things around in the Premier League. The players’ hard work and dedication finally paid off, and Glasner’s confidence in the team was justified with the positive result.
