Crystal Palace boss, Oliver Glasner, has commended Jeffrey Schlupp and his teammates for scoring brilliant goals in their 3-1 win over West Ham United in a pre-season friendly on August 4, 2024.

Schlupp scored a ridiculous goal as the Eagles saw off the Hammers to win the Stateside Cup.

Tyrick Mitchell set the pace for the match, scoring just one minute after kickoff to give Crystal Palace an early lead.

However, West Ham United quickly responded, with Michail Antonio leveling the score at 1-1 in the 21st minute as the teams headed into halftime.

The second half saw Schlupp regain the advantage for Crystal Palace, netting six minutes after the hour mark to make it 2-1.

This goal marked Schlupp’s third consecutive pre-season match with a goal, showcasing his impressive form. Jordan Ayew provided the assist on the play.

Just two minutes later, Odsonne Edouard extended Palace’s lead to 3-1, with Schlupp assisting on the goal.

Speaking after the game, Glasner said, "It's nice to win a trophy and winning is always better than losing. I'm really pleased with the performance we showed today, it was a very, very good game. We scored nice goals and created several more chances, so overall it was a very good game and it was a very good week for us,” he told Palace TV.
