Big shock as Irons are rated v Palace :-)

CandH’s Niall McDonald has no doubt about his man of the match in this latest set of ratings. He takes it to the max after a great performance from the boys.

Randolph: One sharp save in first half. One regulation save in the second 6

Cresswell: “is he treading water?” a fan behind me asked before the break. Looked happier at left-back after it 6

Reid: Kept Benteke very quiet and relished the robust battle with Tomkins at set pieces 7

Ogbonna: Cruises around in a back three. A positive change saw him withdrawn at the interval 5

Collins: 30% aerial challenges, 40% no nonsense clearances, 30% passes back to the keeper 6

Noble: Got his first “you’re so slow Noble” after only nine mins today. To be fair he kept at it 6

Obiang: Excellent game management in the middle again. Invites the ref to stop the game very professionally 8

Lanzini: Magnificent. Ran the game. Covered every blade of grass and capped it with a goal. Boys own stuff 10

Feghouli: What a fortnight! Sort of stuff from which cult heroes are formed 8

Antonio: Pushed up front after the interval showed great composure to set up the first two goals 8

Carroll: This was already a superlative display of centre-forward play and then he scored. “I could watch that goal about a thousand times” my son said, and I’m sure we all will 10

Subs

Byram: A right-back playing right-back! This could catch-on you know. Some crunching tackles 7

Fernandes: In the delirium of the victory I confess I can’t remember if he did much *insert your own score*

Fletcher: Shepherded the ball down to the corner flag very calmly in stoppage time No rating
