Ghana International Scores As Crystal Palace Shares the Spoils With Burnley

• Jeffrey Schlupp was on target for Crystal Palace as they threw away an early lead to draw with Burnley
• Schlupp's goal was his third of the season as the Eagles failed to build on their comprehensive win over relegation-threatened Watford
• He lasted 84 minutes in the game and was replaced by AFCON winning Senegal international Cheikhou Kouyate

Black Stars utility player Jeffrey Schlupp scored a goal for Crystal Palace in their 1-1 draw with Burnley at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

The 29-year-old Ghanaian needed only nine minutes to score the game's opening goal and give his side an early lead only for Luka Milivojevic to score an own goal as the game ended even.

It was a dominant performance by the home side and would count themselves unlucky to have drawn the game against a resurgent Burnley.

While Schlupp played two-thirds of the game, compatriot Jordan Ayew watched the entire 90 minutes from the bench.

How did Schlupp score for Palace?

The Black Stars attacker finished from an exceptional cross from French-born winger of Nigerian descent Michael Olise, after the winger had tricked his way past the ‘Clarets’ defence with ease.

Schlupp's goal against Burnley is his third of the season, one more than the total number of goals he scored last season.
