Tyrick Mitchell has earned recognition from Troy Deeney after his brilliant display for Crystal Palace against Fulham, with the defender named in Deeney’s Team of the Week.
Tyrick Mitchell scored twice as Crystal Palace secured their first Premier League victory of the season in a thrilling 3-2 win. It was the first brace of his club career and his first league goals in 36 games.
His performance was enough to catch Deeney’s eye, with the former Premier League striker praising Mitchell for his consistency and claiming he deserves a place in any Team of the Week.
“Two goals from left-back. He deserves to be in any Team of the Week. He came off as well, but he’s just Mr Consistent. He’s never really spoken about enough,” Deeney said while selecting the Team of the Week.
