The prolific forward headed in his first of the new season after 17 minutes at Selhurst Park and rifled in our fourth of the evening with five minutes left to play, with two splendid Rayan Cherki goals sandwiched in between.
The Norwegian maintained his phenomenal record of scoring every time he’s faced the Eagles and he now has an incredible 24 Premier League goals in just 16 appearances in the month of August.

Our striker could only speak positively after we made it two wins from two this term by overcoming two stern tests against Bournemouth and Palace.
“We have to keep on playing together and find out where we are best and how to play,” he began. “We have so many good players and we have to fit everyone in.
“Phil [Foden] has to work hard as does everyone else. We have to keep going. We know how good Phil is and it’s about showing it week in, week out.
“It’s a right step in the right direction from everyone. Elliot [Anderson] was incredible. We have to build on this.
“I think in the start of the season, it was barely pre-season for everyone. Rayan [Cherki] just five weeks ago was playing in the World cup, so it’s a step up and we take it game by game.
“We’ll be back, we just need a few games.”
Despite the Club entering a new era under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca, Haaland believes the core of the squad knows what it takes to be successful and need to keep trusting the process of the new boss.
“We played well and I mean it’s a new manager and all that but most of us have been playing together,” he continued.
“We know what to do and need to trust the system and trust Enzo in what he wants us to do.”
