Crystal Palace winger Matheus Franca was delighted with his role in victory over Burnley.

Franca jumped from the bench to create one before winning a penalty in the 3-0 win.

He told Palace TV: "I'm feeling very good. I think it's a good time for the team: there's a new manager, a new time. I think it was a great performance.

I was ready for our game because I've worked here training for it, and when the team needs me, I can improve and help my team.

[For the penalty] I ran a lot and took on their player and got a pen! It's too close to the line! I look at my teammates on the right side and I don't think to do the pass, and after I took a hit, I got the assist, the same as for the second goal.

It was a great moment on the pitch because the team changed their mentality. When they started the game, it was very good."
