Crystal Palace and Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp provided an assist as his side defeated Leeds United 5-1 at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Schlupp should have scored in the first half as from just about six yards he headed onto the post from a corner kick when his side were down.

Leeds United created all the chances in the first half as Luis Sinistera should have capitalized on a mistake by Palace captain Marc Guehi under one minute but shot narrowly wide.

There were many chances for Javi Gracia's side to have taken the lead but it was spurned but Patrick Bamford scored the opening goal for Leeds in the 21st minute.

On the stroke of halftime, Guehi grabbed the leveler for the away side after connecting with a pass from Jeffrey Schlupp after a set piece.

Jordan Ayew scored his first goal with a nice header from a cross to hand his side the lead for the first time in the game as he made it 2-1.

Eberechi Eze then slid home the third goal from a through pass from Michael Olise after a break from the halfway line.

Odsonne Edouard then added the fourth goal from a break as he shot across Meslier to make it 4-1 before Jordan Ayew was left free unmarked in the box to stick home his second of the day to make it 5-1 in the 77th minute.

Jeffrey Schlupp's compatriot Ayew was taken off in the 79th minute as Schlupp was replaced by Will Hughes.

The 30-year-old has scored two goals and provided two assists in 29 matches for Crystal Palace this season.
