Crystal Palace secured a hard-fought three points with only their third home win of the season, the first time this season that the club have had consecutive wins at home. While Palace didn't have a shot on target all game, the defensive performance and midfield resilience ensured that the Eagles would continue their good form.
Positives
Sam Allardyce has repeatedly made the case that Palace should respect the point, key to which is the need to keep clean sheets. Palace now have their third clean sheet in a row -- Alan Pardew's side secured just five in 38 games.
