Trevoh Chalobah was in good spirits following his goal to help Palace on their way to victory over rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.
On securing a critical three points, the centre-back said: “It was a very good win, we know how much this meant for the fans.
“We were really ready from the get-go, from minute one. It wasn't easy, as we know they're a very good side, but I thought we showed our qualities today and [we had] the momentum going forward and we look strong.”
Chalobah netted the opening goal of the game to set Palace on their way to victory. This was his second goal in his 10 Premier League games so far.
“[I had to be] alive in the box, anticipating where the ball's going to land. I went where the ball landed and I was there.
“It was good to get my second goal and good to chip in as a defender as well. With goals like that from set-pieces, now we're getting stronger in set-pieces and we need to use that as our advantage.”
“We're doing a lot of training, working on our set-pieces and doing a lot of analysis and sitting down and watching teams [to understand] how we can improve ourselves both in our box and in the attacking box as well.
The defender received universal praise from the travelling Palace faithful, even getting a chant of his own during the game and within the final whistle celebrations.
“It was amazing. The fans are always amazing home or away. It was good for them to be behind us today and this win is for them.
“[Dancing with the away end] was amazing, we all celebrated together. Especially moments like this - it's important that we all celebrate."
Finally, turning his attention to the immediate upcoming games against Arsenal, Chalobah revealed that he and the squad were prepared to make an impact.
“As you know, there's two tough fixtures coming up and the next one midweek, so we'll be ready for that.
“We're not a big squad, but we're a very tight-knit squad, and the players that are not playing are ready to come on and make a difference.
"Everyone knows their role and that's the relationship and that's the bond that we have in this team and we're all ready.”
