Glasner on Dublin demolition and why he gave Casey a chance

First-half goals from Christantus Uche, Eddie Nketiah and Yeremy Pino put Palace in complete control.

And although the Eagles failed to add further goals after the break, Glasner was pleased with the overall performance.

"It's [the result] a credit to the players," he told Palace TV. "And their attitude today, but the circumstances were not really great, and the weather was also not the best.

"But they focused and concentrated on playing this game.

"We scored three great goals in the first-half and created many more chances in the second-half. For me, it was a little bit unlucky that we missed a few chances.

"But we played against a team that defended so deep. It was our best performance when it comes to creating so many chances against the low block.

"It gave us the opportunity to make three substitutes and rest some players, while keeping others in the rhythm.

"So it was a perfect night for us."

Glasner also explained why he decided to give Benji Casey a first-team debut in the closing stages.

"He's doing very well in our youth team," added Glasner. "He's scoring goals, he's got a great profile, he's got a pace, and that's why he deserves it.

"And all three attackers [that started] scored today, they assisted each other, that's how we want to play, and Romain [Esse] was really unlucky not to score, it was also his best performance for us, he was threatening and dangerous."
