‘Don’t forget about him’ – Eberechi Eze tipped for England call after stunning acrobatic goal against West Ham

Eberechi Eze sent a timely reminder to Gareth Southgate after he produced a superb acrobatic effort on Sunday afternoon.

The Crystal Palace star was facing West Ham at Selhurst Park and was clearly in the mood to make an impression.

Michael Olise opened the scoring for Palace, before Eze stole the show with a glorious finish.

With Jean-Philippe Mateta’s effort blocked by Lukasz Fabianski, the ball flew into the air, leading to the former Queens Park Rangers star pulling off an outrageous finish to slot the ball home.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Ian Abrahams said: “I challenge you to find a better goal anywhere in Europe this weekend than the one we just saw from Eberechi Eze.

“Zouma, five or ten meters from his area, gives the ball carelessly to Michael Olise. Olise outside the box slides past Mateta – his effort blocked by Fabianski.

“The ball bounces and, I’m not kidding, the ball is at shoulder height and he launches himself off the ground and with his right foot he slams it acrobatically into the roof of the net.

“It’s an incredible goal.

“People have forgotten this kid for England, but don’t forget him. He’s a player.

Things then got even better for Palace as an own goal from Emerson Palmieri made it 3-0 after just 20 minutes.

The ball was played into the box with Palmieri extending a provisional leg at the far post to push it past Fabianski.

Abrahams added: “It’s getting worse and worse – it’s an absolute calamity.

“West Ham were brilliant on Thursday, shocking on Sunday!

Mateta then made it 4-0 after the half hour, before Michail Antonio pulled one back just before half-time.
