New Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We played a brilliant first half.
"We were very dominant and created chances and then I said okay, stay patient and we will create our chances and congratulations to the players they did it fantastic and deserve all the credit.
"Sometimes the players forget about keeping the balance in the game but how we forced the red card was brilliant and we attacked very high. It was really nice to see.
"We had a great spirit from the beginning and the players tried to do everything that the analysts prepared for them. Also thank you to my staff because we were only here for three days.
"My feeling was the fans were happy to see the players attacking and fighting, they were very loud, this is what we want. They had a great afternoon and now they can go somewhere in a pub and enjoy one or two beers."
Crystal Palace 3-0 Burnley: Key statspublished at 17:42 24 February
17:42 24 February
Oliver Glasner is just the second Crystal Palace manager to win his first Premier League game in charge of the club after Alan Pardew against Tottenham in January 2015.
Palace have won three of their last four league games at Selhurst Park (L1), as many as in their previous 13 games there (D5 L5), with this their biggest home league victory since a 3-0 win over Arsenal in April 2022.
Burnley have lost, and conceded three goals, in each of their last four away games – only in November 2009 have they conceded 3 or more goals in more successive away matches in the Premier League (run of six).
Of the five instances a side has failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League game this season, three have been by Burnley – also against Liverpool in December and Arsenal in February.
Jordan Ayew has been involved in 10 Premier League goals for Crysal Palace this season (4 goals, 6 assists); only the second time he’s reached double figures, previously doing so with the Eagles in 2019-20 (11). He’s now scored in successive games in the competition for the first time since June 2020 (run of three).
Josh Brownhill’s red card was the fifth Burnley have received in the Premier League this season - no side has received more.

Crystal Palace scored three second-half goals to beat 10-man Burnley in manager Oliver Glasner's first game in charge of the club.
The Eagles dominated possession in the first half but could not find a breakthrough before Josh Brownhill was shown a straight red card.
James Trafford played a ball to Brownhill, who was under pressure from Jefferson Lerma, and he brought down the midfielder when he was through on goal.
The visitors made it to half-time with the score level and held on for over 20 minutes of the second period before Palace made the breakthrough.
Jordan Ayew put in an excellent curling cross and defender Chris Richards met it with a diving header into the bottom corner to give the home side the lead in the 68th minute.
That was before Matheus Franca, introduced as a second-half substitute, combined well with Tyrick Mitchell down the left and his low cross was put away by Ayew from close range in the 71st minute.
Jean-Philippe Mateta then made sure of all three points when he confidently dispatched a penalty past Trafford after Franca was brought down by Vitinho.
Burnley striker David Datro Fofana had a late goal ruled out for offside as Palace secured a crucial victory.

Crystal Palace v Burnley: Sutton's predictionspublished at 14:02 24 February
14:02 24 February
BBC pundit Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
For this weekend's games, he takes on former England striker Jermain Defoe.
Sutton's prediction: 1-0
I really don't know what to make of Burnley despite being at Turf Moor for their defeat by Arsenal last weekend. That was such a mismatch, but I don't how damaging a defeat it will prove to be for Vincent Kompany's side.
The Clarets will stand a much better chance against Palace, but the Eagles are a bit of an unknown quantity in Oliver Glasner's first game in charge.
You cannot just switch overnight from one playing style to another, so it is going to take time for Glasner to make a difference, but there should be a positive atmosphere at Selhurst Park and I can see the new manager 'bounce' working for them here.
Glasner on survival, Eze and not being a 'magician'published at 14:36 23 February

Alex Howell BBC Sport football news reporter
It's been a busy first week for new Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. He took charge of the Eagles on Monday and has had three days of training before the Premier League match against Burnley on Saturday.
Here are the main lines from his first press conference:
On joining Crystal Palace: "I'm happy to be part of Crystal Palace. The Premier League is maybe the biggest league in the world with the best players, best managers, best surroundings and I'm pretty happy to be in this league."
Glasner has taken a job for the first time mid-season and says: "Especially in football and also in life sometimes things happen that you don't plan. When we talked about it, I watched many games of Crystal Palace. The decision came really fast. I say 'OK, we have many games left, we have the national team break for time for practice'".
What can be expected of his team? Glasner said: "I'm not a magician. I'm not David Copperfield. It's a new experience but what I always tell the players, it's the same for me, it's a challenge for all of us. I have had a warm welcome from all the players and also the British weather in the last days. We have had more meetings than training sessions on the pitch, but the important thing is the game tomorrow and to get the three points at Selhurst Park."
There have been fan frustration at the club in recent weeks and Glasner said: "When you have bad times you need support in those times. I am sure fans will support the team immediately in this next game. I really am convinced that they will be supporting us until the end of the season."
Eberechi Eze is back in training but will not feature yet, with Michael Olise and Marc Guehi also still out. Glasner has the same squad as was used at Everton, with no fresh injuries.
On his future plans: "When we talk tomorrow it will be different than when we talk in three weeks and when the season ends. We can talk a lot but that is not important now. It is important to work together to reach this vision and reach these goals. The sporting director gives me big confidence that we can reach our vision."
On his keeping Palace in the Premier League he said: "We have everything we need in the squad to win Premier League games, especially at home. I’m convinced because otherwise I wouldn't sit here if I was afraid that we would get relegated, I wouldn't be here. I'm convinced of the quality of the Crystal palace."
'He's been a football legend'published at 16:38 22 February
16:38 22 February
Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney spoke to the BBC's Footballer's Football Podcast about Roy Hodgson, who stepped down as Crystal Palace manager earlier this week.
"He's spoken about a lot at Fulham around the training ground and the club itself," said Cairney. "The Europa League final [in 2010], the comeback against Juventus that's famous at the Cottage.
"To stay in football that long is so hard and at the level he stayed at - it just shows you the kind of man he is, how successful he's been. Not many managers have that long of a career.
"I'm guessing it will be his last job, hopefully he can just visit games here and there, he's been a football legend."
West Ham striker Michael Antonio added: "Everyone I know that's played for him says he's an absolute legend. So cool, so down to earth and everyone wants to fight for him on the pitch. It shows how well he's done, he knows how to get the boys to rally behind him.
"When he came back for his second stint [at Palace], I was like 'what on earth is this man doing?' I'm not saying he shouldn't have come back. I'm saying at his age, football is stress!"
'Sad' ending for Hodgson at Palacepublished at 10:53 22 February
10:53 22 February
I have said it previously - with Roy Hodgson in charge Crystal Palace would not get relegated. I still stand by that and still believe it.
Unfortunately, the recent health scare made it a difficult situation and it is sad that it's ended like like this for Hodgson with Palace. He should have had an unbelievable send off with those Palace fans that I think he deserves. Hopefully at one point in the future he can do that, maybe at the end of the season he can get a big thank you.
In the end, I think it just turned a little bit sour. He would have been delighted to take the club until the end of the season, he would have done the job and everything would have ended on a on a nice note. But now? We will have to wait and see.
The appointment of Oliver Glasner is an interesting one. They want to change, they want something that excites the Palace players. They want a way of playing but they're still missing their most exciting talents. Trying to play a different brand of football is difficult and we saw with Bournemouth at the start of the season how long it took them to change style and set-up. But, how do you change your style when those players who are key to it like Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze are all missing?
You've always got to hit the round ground running and Glasner has two fixtures coming up against Burnley and Luton where he needs to get results. If you don't, you're on the back foot, so the new manager has a big couple of weeks ahead.
They're going to play this high press and they're going to get asked questions whether the squad can cope with that change so quickly without those players. I'm not sure they can, but the games at home give you every opportunity with the new manager bounce.
The key is staying away from that relegation battle. If that five-point gap becomes only two, then everyone will be asking 'should we have voiced our opinion? Is it too soon?'
A manager change like this ideally would have happened in the summer.

'It’s all about how we can score goals' - Glasner on football philosophypublished at 10:52 22 February
10:52 22 February
New Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says he is looking forward to competing against "the best players and coaches in the world" as he prepares for his first experience of managing in the Premier League.
The Eagles are 15th - five points above the relegation zone - and face second-bottom Burnley on Saturday in the Austrian's first game in charge.
"There's a lot of intensity, but this is what we're all looking for: challenges," he said in a wide-ranging interview on the club website., external
"Maybe the referees would whistle for more fouls in Germany or in other countries in Europe - there's a lot of passion and a lot of duels - but [here] I think it's all about football.
"There are maybe the best players in the world playing in the Premier League. There are maybe the best coaches in the world, so the teams are really well-prepared, and this is the challenge that we are looking for and the challenge that I am looking for: to also improve and to develop myself."
Glasner, who won the Europa League in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022, has promised that his first priority will be his attack.
He continued: "My philosophy is very easy: it's scoring goals because that's why, as I tell the players very often, we all started playing football. Nobody went on the pitch when he was a young kid to defend!
"Everybody wants to have the ball and wants to score a goal and then celebrate together with his friends, so this is why we all started playing football.
"I think we never should forget this because this is what the fans want to see: that we fight together and we play together to score a goal. This is the headline over the football philosophy.
"Then, of course, it's how we defend: sometimes it's a high press, sometimes it's a low block - but [overall] it's all about how we can score goals."

Crystal Palace v Burnley: Pick of the statspublished at 09:01 22 February
09:01 22 February
Here are the key facts and figures before Saturday's game between Crystal Palace and Burnley in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W6 D3), going 3-0 down against Fulham in December last season. The Eagles have won three of their four games against promoted sides so far this term (L1).
Oliver Glasner is set to become just the second Austrian to manage in the Premier League after Ralph Hasenhuttl. Only one of the 15 managers to have taken charge of Crystal Palace in the competition have won their first game with the Eagles (D4 L10), with Alan Pardew taking home three points against Tottenham in January 2015.
Burnley have earned eight of their 13 Premier League points in away games this season, the highest ratio of any side. The Clarets have won more points away than they have at home in just four of their 124 previous seasons in English league football.
Excluding penalties, only Nottingham Forest (15) have conceded more set piece goals than Burnley this season (13). However, Crystal Palace have only scored one set piece goal so far this term, the fewest in the division.
Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford has conceded 55 goals in 25 games this season, keeping just two clean sheets. Only two goalkeepers have conceded more goals in their first 25 appearances in the competition - David Watson for Barnsley in April 1998 (58) and Wes Foderingham for Sheffield United this season (63).

Crystal Palace first-team coach Ray Lewington has left the club following Roy Hodgson's exit earlier in the week.
Speaking to the club's official website Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “Ray holds a prominent place in the heart of every Crystal Palace supporter, and I would like to thank him for his tremendous service.
“As well as his superb coaching, we will all miss Ray’s infectious positivity, patience and enthusiasm – all of which he displayed every matchday from the sidelines!
“We would like to wish Ray all the very best for the future – he knows that he will always be welcome back at Selhurst Park.”
Lewington said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club, I am very grateful to all the staff and players I have worked with over several seasons.
“I have enjoyed every minute of my time here and I wish the club the very best of luck for the rest of this season, and beyond.”

Crystal Palace fan and podcaster Chris Hambling has been speaking to BBC Radio London about Roy Hodgson's departure.
He said: "The feeling now is one of relief. It's a relief that we can now appreciate what Roy has done because it felt really bad wanting him gone.
"He's been such a great manager for Palace - you don't manage at the age of nearly 77 if you're a bad manager. We just wanted him to carry on that form from last year, but it wasn't possible.
"We have lost our way. Patrick Vieira went for a lot less than what Roy went for and, in the end, I feel like some of the comments that came out about the younger players from him, he was trying to say things in a certain way and temper expectations a little bit.
"It just got to people. We're football fans - we're not always entirely logical and we just want to see our team win and see brilliant football.
"We accept that isn't always going to happen but we don't like people telling us we shouldn't expect to compete and that is where it really lost its way.
"Now we can say we're really sad that Roy was ill but really happy now he is well and walking around and relived we can move on and look at the wonderful job he did over the six seasons, which is unheard of these days."

'Glasner comes in right in the firing line'published at 18:20 20 February
18:20 20 February
New Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner arrives "right in the firing line", according to former midfielder John Salako.
After speculation last week over Roy Hodgson's managerial position, it was announced on Monday that the 76-year-old would stepdown with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Glasner taking over.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Salako said: "Hodgson's delivered in his six years at Palace, he's a Palace fan and he's been fantastic.
"When he came in and took over from Patrick Vieira when we were really struggling, he won five games and drew three which was incredible and we thought he deserved the job until we found that new fresh face to take us forward.
"They've been looking at Glasner for a while, there was talk about others but in the background they've been looking and they've got their man. So we just have to say thank you to Roy for everything he has done and where he has taken the club.
"He passes the baton on and it is a lovely time for Glasner to come in now, even with Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise and Cheick Doucoure out injured, I think there is enough there to see us through."
The Eagles' draw with Everton on Monday leaves them sitting five points above the relegation zone with key games against Burnley and Luton coming up in their next three fixtures.
"Glasner comes in right in the firing line because these games against Burnley and Luton are massive, they're what you call six pointers that you can't lose but that Palace really need to win," Salako added.
"When you look at the fixtures and run in after the next three games it could be tough and we can do ourselves a massive favour. If we can get six points from those games we can go into the remainder of the season with optimism."

Chris Sutton has been speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club about Crystal Palace's appointment of Oliver Glasner as their new manager.
He said: "I think it's really difficult to come in at this stage of the season, he has to be balanced in his approach. It's not going to be as easy as flicking a switch and expecting everybody to be right at it if they are going to play this high intensity pressing game.
"It's a big risk bringing someone in at this stage of the season.
"He can't go in and think that it's just going to change overnight and they're going to become an unbelievable attacking team. It doesn't work like that. It has to be a slowly, slowly approach."
'New man in the stands Glasner offers prospect of hope'published at 13:41 20 February
13:41 20 February
Alex Pewter Fan writer
Up against it, with an assistant in charge and the new manager in attendance watching on. If any match had the potential to unlock the spirit of Hull City away ten seasons ago, it was Monday's fixture against Everton.
Alas, Jordan Ayew didn't get to play the match-winning role of Barry Bannan on this occasion, as Everton offset his stunning opener with a late goal.
The new man in the stands, Oliver Glasner, doesn't cut the exact figure of Tony Pulis, nor does he have an evident penchant for baseball caps - but he offers the same prospect as the change that season. Hope.
There are elements of this squad for him to work with. Even if the team has inherent flaws, it isn't without character.
This match wasn't the first occasion that Palace have opted for a trio of centre-backs, this time in an attempt to nullify the aerial dominance of Sean Dyche's team.
However, this combination will likely be the starting back three/five if Palace mirrors the formation opted for at Eintracht Frankfurt – at least until Marc Guehi returns from injury.
While it has been a strength in recent seasons for Palace to lean on individual attacking brilliance to win matches, it has also been a drawback. A reset in shape and coaching philosophy offers a more systematic way to create chances.
Whether that comes from the width offered by wing-backs or adding additional attackers in central areas nearer Jean-Philippe Mateta, the team must adapt quickly to changes.
Ultimately, there are marginal gains for the incoming coaching staff to find – whether that is through conditioning or dead-ball improvement.
Fortunately for Glasner, it is only a must-win game against Burnley that awaits him on Saturday for his Selhurst Park debut. No pressure.
