Odsonne Edouard: French forward takes 28 seconds to win over Crystal Palace fans on dream debut

Many Celtic fans lost faith in Odsonne Edouard during his final season in Scotland, but it took the striker just 28 seconds to win over Crystal Palace supporters.

Edouard introduced himself to the Selhurst Park crowd with two goals in eight minutes against Tottenham, earning new manager Patrick Vieira a first victory as Eagles boss.

"It's a dream debut for me and to score in front of the fans is important for me," he said.

"I worked very hard for this moment."

So is Edouard the man to finally solve Palace's long-standing goalscoring problems?
