Vote for your eToro Man of the Match from Palace's Watford clash

Jordan Ayew led Crystal Palace to an emphatic victory over Watford this afternoon - putting the Eagles on 39 points with nine Premier League games left to play.

The result was Palace's third consecutive 1-0 victory, and can be easily credited to Ayew's match-winning thunderstrike.

However, the Palace team from front to back enjoyed a solid performance - with Vicente Guaita and his backline keeping a third straight clean sheet with collected defending.

Going forward, James McCarthy and Cheikhou Kouyate ran non-stop throughout the midfield and Christian Benteke routinely set up attacks by winning ball after ball.
