Crystal Palace, who are in a relegation spiral, thrashed Leeds United 5-1 in a relegation battle in the early hours of Monday morning (10th), with their leader Hessein grabbing 6 points in 2 matches after taking over, which is even more than what his predecessor Vela will get in 2023 (5 points in 12 matches)! Crystal Palace have scored 7 goals in their last 2 matches, which is equal to the total number of goals scored in their previous 15 league matches, so Hessein is really something!
Crystal Palace conceded first in the 21st minute, Bamford opened the scoring for Leeds United, and the visitors equalized with Mark Gushee just before half time. After the change of sides, Crystal Palace went on a killing spree, with goals from Ibir Ghiyis, Oshinni Aduyadi and Jordan Aho (2 goals) leading the team to a 5-1 win, while youngster Michael Ollis assisted a hat-trick and became the hero of the win.
Crystal Palace are relieved to be six points clear of the drop zone after the win, but Hessein, who has seen it all before, said: "I don't know how to do magic, everything is perfect here, even the weather is good, but I know that there are going to be different days in the future, and I'm going to have to face different problems, so I'm going to have to enjoy this wonderful moment.
