English-born Ghanaian talent Eddie Nketiah netted his maiden goal for Crystal Palace in their Carabao Cup win on Tuesday night.
The 25-year-old scored in the 1-2 away win over Queens Park Rangers to help his side advance to the next round of the cup competition.
Nketiah was handed a second consecutive start for the Eagles following a place in the starting lineup in their last Premier League game against Leicester City.
It took just 16 minutes for the forward to get on the scoresheet after being played through by Eberechi Eze.

Eze picked the run of Nketiah from a free kick before the latter fired a low shot past the QPR goalkeeper to open the scoring, his first since joining the South London side in the summer.
Palace took the 1-0 lead into the break but were pecked back eight minutes after recess.
Sam Field equalised for the home side before Eze restored Palace's lead 11 minutes later with the away side going on to pick all three points.
After opening his scoring account for the club, Nketiah will hope to continue from there with Palace facing Manchester United in their next game.
Palace now advance into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
