IAN Holloway says that Palace striker Glenn Murray is one of the best players he's ever worked with.
The Eagles boss watched the former Brighton & Hove Albion striker score his 16th and 17th goals of the season against his former employers on Saturday and hailed his opening goal after 39 minutes.
"He's a fantastic footballer," he said. "His football brain is as good as anybody I've worked with.
"He knows the timing and his eye for getting on the end of a cross is completely awesome.
"I've had some great players in my time, and I've been fortunate to work with some fantastic lads, but to be honest, Glenn's right up there with all of them.
"That's nine goals in six games, which is quite awesome.
"He's very clever and I love clever footballers. They try to improve their brain and I'm thoroughly enjoying it and this group deserves all sorts of credit."
