Patrick Vieira hails 'really humble' and 'fantastic' Crystal Palace hero Conor Gallagher after his brace against Everton sealed victory at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira praised 'humble' two-goal hero Conor Gallagher after his brace helped inspire a 3-1 victory over Everton in the Premier League.

The Chelsea loanee opened the scoring after 41 minutes and wrapped up the points with a sublime second in stoppage time, curling home from 25 yards.

It ended the Eagles' three-match losing run and Gallagher was central to the triumph to continue his fine form at Selhurst Park, which has not been affected by a maiden England appearance last month.
