Wilfried Zaha and Jeffrey Schlupp may have scored the goals to end Crystal Palace’s winless run but it was another Eagle fans were left praising following their 2-0 win at Turf Moor.
After one draw and four defeats in their previous five fixtures the pressure was on Roy Hodgson’s side to deliver against Sean Dyche’s men.
A patched up defence that saw Gary Cahill and Joel Ward ruled out through injury saw Martin Kelly and Scott Dann step-in and secure the first clean sheet for the Selhurst Park outfit in seven outings.
A key component of that rear-guard display was the ever-impressing Vicente Guaita.
The Spanish shotstopper proved his worth once again with a fine display which included a stunning save to deny Jay Rodgriguez and a Clarets side that had registered back to back 3-0 wins from getting on the scoresheet.
Fans flocked to social media to hail the 32-year-old.
Guaita the most underrated keeper in the league imo. Doesn’t get spoken about outside of our fan base #CPFC

Great result for the Palace. A dominant performance, particularly in the first half. Wilf looks like he’s rediscovered his form from last season, and Guaita showing why he’s the best Spanish keeper in the league. Up The Palace! #cpfc #BURCRY https://t.co/eMhKY6XHAI

Will happily take that result, Burnley as a team work so hard but #CPFC gave the ball away so needlessly so many times. Guaita again proving his worth again and another step in the right direction for Zaha with a decent performance.
