Pardew: Sunderland victory will provide Crystal Palace with plenty of confidence

Crystal Palace's stunning 4-1 victory over Sunderland on Saturday will do wonders for the confidence of the players.

That is the sentiment of manager Alan Pardew who is of the belief that his Eagles will only get stronger after their fourth Premier League win on the trot.

"I can't wait for the next game," said Pardew whose 11th-placed side host West Bromwich Albion next Saturday.

"It was a real pleasure for me to just stand on the touchline and admire them. I know it wasn't enjoyable for Sunderland but the performance of my team was terrific.

"It's a big shot of confidence for the team, confidence that they can score goals. Even if had Sunderland had scored first, I still think we would have won. We've got goals in us and great confidence."
