How we rated the Irons at Palace

Hughie hands out the marks

Fabianski: Saw the woodwork rattled twice – made a couple of great saves and let down by his defence for the goals. 7

Coufal: Just ok to honest, Beaten here and there occasionally and couldn’t get any killer balls into the box 6

Diop: Poor game – saw him nowhere for the first goal and responsible for the foul that led to the second. Hurry back Zouma 3

Dawson: Did ok at the heart of defence on a day when Palace really piled the pressure on at times 6+

Johnson: Brilliant first half defending well and providing much ammunition in the shape of crosses despite being on his wrong side. Assuming he was injured cos Masuaku came on for him at half time 8

Rice: Here there and everywhere and outstanding run for the second goal. Fabulous stuff 9

Soucek: Still not at his best but there was some excellent defensive stuff to admire today 7

Benrahma Decentish first half before going off in what is  his last game before Afcon 6+

Lanzini: Real high quality stuff generally and a classic goal which showed what brilliant feet he has 9

Bowen: Quiet by his standards but the usual high endeavour stuff when on the ball 7

Antonio: Coming back to his best and the goal will help him 7

Subs

Masuaku: We have become too used to seeing him and surely only a Johnson injury could have brought him on 4

Vlasic: Really looking forward to seeing more of him. His one big run saw him, head down, running straight at the defence. 6

Noble: Very late arrival, don’t think he got a touch. No rating
