Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford: Which star proved their worth, how Palace's defence nullified the Bees - and who won the 'battle of the long throws'?

Crystal Palace made it two wins and clean sheets in a row by beating Brentford 2-0 to cap an impressive week.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's brilliant header put the Eagles ahead in the first half before Nathan Collins nodded past his own keeper from Jefferson Lerma's long throw early in the second period.

Palace comfortably closed out the victory to rise to seventh in the Premier League table.
