Mateta scored Palace’s first in a 2-0 win by striking at José Sá in goal and then reacting fastest to the loose ball just yards out, prodding home from close-range.
He looked back on the effort, saying: “I saw Wilf [Zaha, who got the assist] go with the ball and saw the last time he tried to cross. I came in front of the defender, shot and the ‘keeper kept the ball. But after we leave the ball and I follow [on the] rebound.
