How we rated the Irons at Palace

Hugh hands out the marks

Fabianski: More high marks for the keeper after several top saves and  all round performance 8

Fredericks: Handed the hugely difficult job of coping with Zaha whilst still beinga bit ring rusty. Did alright but he and a couple of the others failed to keep out that equaliser 6

Diop: Steady Eddie performance on a day when he came under a load of pressure 7

Ogbonna: Caught out of positions when danger emerged a couple of times as Palace got in behind him 5

Cresswell: Did really well at both ends and is looking the player we have always believed him to be 7

Noble: Gained some breathing spaces with those falls of his but became overwhelmed in second half 6

Rice: Spot on throughout – hard to fault him at all 8

Snodgrass: The usual energy but not a lot of end product 6

Anderson: Tremendous first half but like so many of the front runners disappeared in the second. 7

Antonio: Earned the spot kick by going in where it was always gonna hurt and ran his heart out until subbed 7

Chicharito: Just okay – missed a couple of chances but at least starts to LOOK more threatening 5

SUBS

Zabaleta: Appeared late on No rating

Obiang: On to shore up the midfield – the usual 3 

Aranutovic: Can’t be blamed for an anonymous 25 minutes as there was so little coming out of midfield but nothing of note from him apart from the hard running we are used to 3
