Andrew Dorman

ANDY DORMAN has revealed his delight after scoring his first Crystal Palace goal.

DORMAN, a summer signing from St Mirren, notched his maiden strike in Palace's 4-3 loss at Preston on Saturday.

The 28-year-old midfielder headed home Paddy McCarthy's cross and admits he was relieved to finally break his duck.

"It was good to get off the mark and I think it has been overdue," he said.

"I have a missed a couple of chances in recent weeks so it was nice to actually get one.

"I don't score too many with my head, it's mainly with my feet, so it was a bit of a surprise, especially from that distance, but it wasn't a bad header."
