Crystal Palace midfielder Conor Gallagher admits his goal in victory at Manchester City came from a "gamble".
Gallagher, on-loan from Chelsea, struck in the shock 2-0 win.
“It was lovely," he told Palace's website. “To be fair, I shouldn't have made the box – the boss told me to sit in a two in midfield! I just had a feeling that I could get a chance here, because I was unmarked, so I went in the box and thankfully Michael [Olise] laid me the ball and I was able to finish.
“It's a great feeling. Like I said, we've been unlucky with results in the last few games, so to get three points here is brilliant.
“When you come up against Manchester City, you naturally play differently. You defend more, you have to work a little bit harder off the ball. In the first-half, it is tough against a team that pressures like that. I felt we were brilliant defensively the whole game.
“To be fair, in the first-half I was blowing, so to see a man get sent off I was thinking: 'Get in! It might be a bit easier in the second.'
“We go into every game with the same mentality, and hopefully we can continue like this."
