Add as preferred source on Google

Jason Puncheon – The winger was enthusiastic and worked hard for his team down the left hand side. He tried to create for his side, but he was kept quiet by the best defence in the league. It was a frustrating afternoon for him until he brought off for Andros Townsend. 5

Christian Benteke – The Belgian was isolated up front and was feeding off scraps for the majority of the game. That said, he caused problems with his physicality and worked hard for the entire match. If Palace can get better service to him, they should climb the table. 6

Andros Townsend – The former Newcastle winger struggled to get into the game after coming on. It has been a frustrating season for the England international and it didn’t get any better for him on Saturday. 5

Fraizer Campbell – He didn’t get any chance to impress after coming on, therefore he can’t be fairly rated. N/A

Zeki Fryers – The full back came on late and didn’t have enough time to earn a rating. N/A
