Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher picks up Crystal Palace Player of the Month award

According to London News Online (h/t football.london), Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher has picked up the Crystal Palace Player of the Month award for August. 

The 21-year-old, who made the move from West London to Selhurst Park this summer on a loan deal, is already producing good performances under Patrick Vieira. The Englishman has played in 3 games for the club in August and scored 2 goals in the process. 

However, the pick of the bunch for Gallagher would have been performance against West Ham United in the game just before the international break. Although he found the back of the net twice on the day, his second goal was a thing of beauty.
