Player ratings: Julian Speroni: Very little to do but was reliable when called upon. 7
Danny Butterfield: An assured display, covering the centre backs well and often getting forward to support. 8
Paddy McCarthy: Led from the back against his former side and you could tell how much he wanted to win. 8
Jose Fonte: Him and McCarthy look like a good pairing. Unlucky not to score. 8
Clint Hill: Rarely beaten down his side and was comfortable. 7
Shaun Derry: Best game in a while and controlled the midfield. 8
Ben Watson: Full of energy and his dead balls were a constant threat. He’s making up for lost time. Man of the match. 9
Nick Carle: Epitomised Palace as he was full of running and not afraid to get stuck in. 8
Victor Moses: The boy wonder is back, taking on players for fun and playing with a smile on his face. 9
Paul Ifill: Five games in a row now without being injured and he is enjoying his football again. Should have had a hat-trick though. 7
Craig Beattie: Goal will make him an instant hero with the Palace fans, but he looked a bit tired at times and needs games. 7
SUBS:
Shefki Kuqi (Beattie, 82): Jeered by a few but mainly cheered, he ran around a lot and made an effort. 6
Carl Fletcher (Carle, 82): An important interception in the box late on. 6
Sean Scannell (Moses, 90): No time to make an impact. 6
