Second Half Recovery

The goalkeeper returned in a baseball cap to protect his vision from the low sun yet he'll feel regret for permitting the visitors to equalise eight minutes post the break.

Glasner's team was unprepared by a quick Bruno Fernandes free-kick allowing the forward to chest the ball down and pivot in one motion to produce a shot that found the top corner.

Winning Moment

Having survived a goalmouth scramble when the Dutchman nearly netted once more in his own net, their afternoon got even better moments after as the Dutch attacker was tripped on the edge of Palace's box by Marc Guéhi.
