Palace striker Gayle happy playing for Pardew

Crystal Palace striker Dwight Gayle was pleased with his double in victory over Burnley.

Gayle, having scored only once in nine games before Alan Pardew's arrival, now has double figures for the season.

"The new gaffer has come in and instilled a little bit of confidence in the boys so we know we can come back from 2-0 down. We are all good players and we believe in each other, as it showed.

"It's about making sure we're getting crosses into the box and shots off so we can score.

"He's boosted our confidence as a collective. He goes out there, gives everyone little pats on the back, talks to people individually, he's got everyone going. For me to get 10 goals this season is a great achievement."
