Oliver Glasner backs his Crystal Palace players to end struggle for away goals against Bournemouth

Oliver Glasner has backed his Crystal Palace players to end their struggle for goals away from Selhurst Park.

Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace in front at Nottingham Forest on Saturday but Glasner's side spurned chances to kill the game off the best of them falling to Eberechi Eze, denied by Matz Sels before Chris Wood equalised, leaving the manager to rue «two lost points».

Palace, eight points clear of the relegation zone having picked up five points from four games since the change of manager, have scored only 15 goals on their travels this term, joint-second lowest in the league, but Glasner has seen encouraging signs going into Tuesday's trip to Bournemouth.

«Of course we work in training,» he said. «Maybe (we don't have time) for Bournemouth, we just recover and then we go, but we do it to give them confidence. The offensive players can do it. I'm really calm that we will score the goals.»

Mateta's strike was his ninth of the season but third in four games, with the Frenchman clearly enjoying life under Glasner. That burst of form is something Glasner wants to see others replicate.

«Now we have JP who in many moments can score. We know Eze in many moments can score, Jeffrey Schlupp too,» he said. «Sometimes the ball falls in front of you and you hit it with your toe and it goes in.»

The focus is not just on the forwards. Adam Wharton caught the eye with his passing on Saturday, setting up a wonderful chance which Eze was unable to convert before half-time.

It continues an impressive start to life in the Premier League since the 20-year-old's £18million move from
