Cheikhou Kouyate netted his first goal in Crystal Palace colours today as he helped the Eagles overcome his former side, West Ham United.
Speaking with Palace TV in a post-match interview, the Senegal international expressed his delight at 'finally' scoring and also revealed a minor discomfort which seemed to lead to him leaving the pitch in the 88th minute.
On the goal, Kouyate said: "I’m very happy for this goal. It’s a long time I’ve waited for this goal. All players, Jordan, Macca, tell me: ‘What day are you going to score?’ But before the game some players told me: ‘You’re going to score, you’re going to score.
