    GOAL - Crystal Palace 2-0 Sheffield utdpublished at 45+5 mins

    Eberechi Eze

    WHAT A GOAL!

    A stunning solo effort from Palace sub Eberechi Eze.

    He picks the ball up deep in his own half and glides past Oliver Norwood. No challenges are incoming as he continues to burst forward.

    Eze easily skips past two more tackles before stroking a cool, side-footed finish into the bottom corner from the edge the area.

    Superb.

    Rob A: Remember Chris Wilder being quite critical of some of his players last year. Appreciate that's his style but you wonder whether he can rally a dressing room based on that. Perhaps took it for granted last season?

    Marcus: Yes, Sheffield United offer very little going forward, but it continues to baffle me why Wilder leaves £23m striker Rhian Brewster on the bench. Surely give him a chance?

    We haven't seen much from Sheffield United as a goal threat but they have tried to start operating in Crystal Palace's half.

    It's been a bit better from the visitors.

    Sheffield United defender Jayden Bogle is the first man into the book for a lazy trip on Wilfried Zaha.

    A convo in 50 years time...

    Remember 2020-21?

    What, when there was the global pandemic?

    No, when that team went a whole season without winning a game.

    Tyrick Mitchell a breath of fresh air at LB. An upgrade on Patrick van Aanholt both going forward and defensively for me, and I hope he keeps his place!

    Dawn, Croydon (Eagles fan)

    Has anyone ever gone a season with 0 wins? I've nothing against Sheffield United in particular but it'd be amazing to see a team go winless all season.

    First real chance for Sheffield United, Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita starts to come, then stops, real hesitation allowing Jayden Bogle to get a low shot off from inside the area but the Spanish stopper recovers to make the save.

    Mauricio Pochettino has got the best out of Dele Alli in the past and it would probably be a clever move all-round to get him out there with with the Euros looming.

    You have to have success [at PSG]. They have moved Thomas Tuchel on because PSG are actually in a title race rather than winning at a canter. It's a great opportunity for Pochettino.

    Hit the thumbs.

    Sheffield United look disciplined in this shape they have a good structure - trying to make Palace go back and work in half their space.

    But Palace have got very fluid movement, sometimes you watch Palace and they look very rigid but they've got the movement and the freedom to exploit a few of Sheffield United's gaps.

    You feel if Palace get a second it could be over.

    Goalscorer Jeffrey Schlupp leads the break and lays the ball off for Wilfried Zaha.

    The Palace talisman finds Christian Benteke a couple of yards of but the Belgium striker clips his shot wide of goal.

    Chris Wilder not happy with that, spinning around in frustration before taking a gulp of his apple juice I think?

    Or is it something stronger...?

    Just short of the half hour mark, we have had two shots so far.

    One resulted in a goal in the fourth minute.

    PSG appoint Mauricio Pochettino as manager

    Micah Richards
    Former Man City defender on BBC Final Score

    Incredible news. Mauricio Pochettino a great manager. We all wanted to see him back and we all thought he was waiting for the Manchester United job.

    PSG is a massive job. Huge. There's a massive expectation there.

    With the squad he can pick from and the players he can attract, it's a match made in heaven.
