CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita – 5. The Spaniard had no chance for the opening goal but should have done more to stop Oxlade-Chamberlain scoring at the near post. He was on the wrong end of a poor penalty decision. AFP

Two Andrew Robertson assists helped the Reds take control, with Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on target in the first half.

But Patrick Vieira’s side reduced the deficit through Odsonne Edouard at the start of the second period.

In the end it took a string of saves from Alisson Becker to secure the win, with Fabinho adding a contentious penalty late on to wrap up a victory which keeps the title race alive after Manchester City dropped points on Saturday.
