Are we witnessing the Jean-Philippe Mateta redemption arc?
There was a buzz of expectation around Selhurst Park when the fourth official indicated that No 14 was about to enter the fray, but surely nobody realistically predicted what was to follow.It’s hard to imagine a more effective cameo than the one Jean-Philippe Mateta provided for Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Now, with the admin out of the way, the Frenchman could really have some fun.As the ball came to him on the right flank, he trapped it with the sole of his boot and lured Marc Cucurella out from his position.
