ROMAIN ESSE is eager to impress new boss Oliver Glasner after whetting his scoring appetite with a goal on his Crystal Palace and Premier League debut.

The 19-year-old former Millwall winger, who signed for Palace earlier this month, was introduced in the 83rd minute of their 2-1 loss to Brentford and opened his Eagles account with his first touch two minutes later.

It was a sliver of a silver lining on an otherwise frustrating afternoon for the hosts at Selhurst Park, who fell behind as a result of Bryan Mbeumo’s retaken penalty in the 66th minute, then conceded a second when Kevin Schade headed home 10 minutes from time.
