Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta is loving life in the Premier League at the moment.

Mateta is the talk of the town in London over the past few weeks, especially since Oliver Glasner took over at the club.

The powerful forward has been netting goals left, right, and center, with ten in his past 12 games.

I [had to] just keep playing hard and just be ready and now they give me my chance," Mateta told BBC Sport.

When you are on the bench you can show nothing. You know in the Premier League you can come on for two minutes, five minutes - it's hard."

This is one of my qualities," he added on his finishing.

"I'm happy that everyone starts to see now. I'm tired that only the players in training can see this."
