Olise is a world class talent! Fans go crazy for Crystal Palace youngster's display against Manchester City
Crystal Palace youngster Michael Olise has been tipped to be the next big thing in football following his remarkable showing against Manchester City on Monday night.
Notwithstanding the talents in Pep Guardiola’s squad, the 20-year-old shone like a million stars as the Eagles settled for a 0-0 draw against the Citizens at Selhurst Park.
Aside from his blistering speed - which troubled the visitors' defenders - Olise’s silky skills earned him rave reviews with fans going on social media to applaud his incredible talent.
Below is how the Nigeria prospect sent the football faithful into a frenzy.

I still strongly believe Michael Olise shouldn't play for Nigeria. Make him carry him talent go better country

Olise is going to be an absolute world class player. Already looks like one if I’m being honest. #CRYMCI

Hope Palace get a few good players next season. This team can go places. The attack is already sorted if they can keep Olise.

Add a few players in defense and midfield next season.
Even with his superb performance, he was substituted for Ghana international Jordan Ayew in the 65th minute by manager Patrick Vieira - a decision that did not go down well with many fans.
I didn’t want Olise to come off

In hindsight Vieira shouldn’t have taken out Olise. They can’t break without him

Viera taking Olise off instead of Zaha is an awful decision ik who my goat midfielder is pic.twitter.com/o8Bknc4tMb

One of the Crystal Palace youngster’s best moments against City saw him dribble Phil Foden. That alone drew several humourous comments from other football fans.
Just Olise sending Foden back to Manchester 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/6KTfSU2p5b

Michael Olise sent Foden to the shops earlier in the first-half. Magnificent player

What Olise did to Foden was disrespectful 😭😂🔥

Olise nearly broke Foden’s ankle😭😭😭
