Ghanaian defender Jeffrey Schlupp has admitted that Sunday’s impressive result and performance “was massive for us,” with the Eagles ending the run of seven straight defeats.
Schlupp who scored the only goal for Palace in their 1-1 draw against Tottenham said “We’ve been safe quite early on,” he said. “Since the restart, results haven’t been what we wanted but we wanted to finish off the season well and I think we’ve done that today.”
The Black Stars defender who missed parts of the season due to injury is happy the Eagles can, yet again, prepare for Premier League football next season:
“We’ve had some key injuries. All in all, it has been a good season for us; we wanted to maybe challenge for something a bit higher in the league but it didn’t happen.
“We had some disappointing results but it was important for us to finish well and hopefully we can take that into the next season.
“We deserve a good break first and foremost and then we get straight back into it with a shorter pre-season than normal and pick-up where we left-off after today.” he said as quoted by the club’s website.
He added “Our fans are massive for us,” he said. “And as you can see from the restart we’ve not had the best of results and you can maybe put that down to missing our fans. We look forward to hopefully having them back soon and to giving us that push that we need for next season.”
