Jairo Riedewald told Palace TV that the anger behind conceding early powered his goal against Newcastle United - and that he had his eyes shut while putting his foot through the ball.
"I think I was still angry about the first goal so I had my eyes closed and just shot the goal as hard as I could," he said, before saying to BT Sport: "I think it was a good strike – I haven’t seen it back, I had my eyes closed. I think it was a good strike."
Riedewald expressed a frustration at conceding early repeatedly, and explained why he felt disappointed with the early goal:
"We lost the first challenge and then the ball was played in behind, they crossed the ball, cut it back and I think I could have blocked the shot a bit earlier – it was just too late and they scored an early goal.
