Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew believes striker Dwight Gayle will be even more of a handful for Premier League defences as he grows in experience and confidence.
The 24-year-old, who was playing for Conference North side Bishop's Stortford three-and-a-half years ago, scored twice as the Eagles came from 2-0 down to beat Burnley 3-2 at Turf Moor.
He has now scored in Palace's last three matches since Pardew arrived from Newcastle, and the manager has high hopes for him.
"He just seems a very uncomplicated player,'' Pardew said. "He is very straightforward in his work -- he is quick, good in the air, good attitude... there is not much more you want.
"All he needs is experience and to grow in his confidence.
"When I had Jason Puncheon at Southampton he wasn't the player he is today.
"Because he has played in the Premier League he has that inner confidence he can play at this level, and that is what players like Dwight Gayle need to find.''
Puncheon was Palace's other goalscorer as they recovered from goals by Ben Mee, from a corner, and Danny Ings, who benefited from Scott Arfield out-muscling Joel Ward on the touchline, in the opening 16 minutes.
"I was disappointed in the first two goals,'' Pardew added. "I know the ball wasn't in the quadrant [corner] for the first goal, but that is a lame excuse and we should have done better.
"The second goal was a foul and I think the referee and linesman were distracted by the fact was the ball in or out and didn't see the player just dump our defender on the pitch.
"Having said that, we had to show tremendous qualities, not just fighting spirit and resilience -- which I know is in the group -- but flair and bravery to pass the ball, which we did against a Burnley team who I thought were on their mettle."
