Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta earned high praise for his performance against Luton Town, with pundit Chris Sutton lauding his impressive finish during the game.
Despite the disappointment of conceding a late equalizer to Luton Town, Mateta’s goal in the 11th minute showcased his clinical finishing ability, marking his fifth goal of the season. The goal, created by Daniel Munoz’s tireless efforts, saw Mateta maneuver the ball into the net with a cheeky flick, deceiving the Luton defenders in a crowded penalty area.
Pundit Chris Sutton, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, described Mateta’s finish as “wonderful,” praising the striker’s awareness and execution. His sentiments were echoed by fellow pundit Paul Merson on Sky Sports, who called it a “phenomenal finish.”
While the goal couldn’t secure the win for Palace, the praise for Mateta’s skill and contribution highlights his importance to the team. Despite the setback, Crystal Palace will look to regroup and aim for victory in their upcoming fixture against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
