Crystal Palace hero Eddie Nketiah received “thank you messages” from his former club Arsenal after netting a last-gasp winner against the Gunners’ title rivals Liverpool on Saturday.

Ismaila Sarr had given the Eagles the lead before Federico Chiesa equalised in the 87th minute, but the Englishman  ultimately stole the spotlight with his decisive late strike.

Nketiah revealed that he had received several “thank you messages” from his former club, saying:

"I had a few thank you messages to be honest. Yeah, a couple of the staff messaged me but I'm fully focused on life here and want to do well and help the team as much as possible."
