Here's how the players rated in Crystal Palace's 2-0 FA Cup fourth round win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Julian Speroni
If this is his last game, he’s going out with a bang. Made an incredible double-save to deny N’Koudou which proved crucial before the break. Club legend. 9
Joel Ward
Looked threatening going forward and contributed for the opener. Solid in defence and kept N’Koudou honest all game. 8
Scott Dann
Has been touted for a move to Fulham but Hodgson should try and keep hold of the Liverpudlian. A commanding display at the back and will surely be looking to dislodge Tomkins for a starting berth in the league. 9

Patrick van Aanholt
Always takes one touch too many at the back, but offers so much going forward. Gave away a sloppy penalty that wasn’t punished. Should’ve had an assist to his name, but Townsend didn’t oblige. 7
Martin Kelly
Looked solid next to Dann. Committed and no nonsense defending, exactly what you’d expect from the centreback. 8
Cheikhou Kouyate
Seemed to step up his defensive duties in the absence of Luka Milivojevic. Happy to disrupt and distribute allowing the energy of Schlupp and Meyer to take the headlines around him. 8
Max Meyer
Relished the more central role and got on the ball far more frequently than when he’s on the flank. Fantastic at keeping possession, at both ends of the park. 8
Jeffrey Schlupp
Offers more energy and pace in the middle compared to James McArthur and that suited Zaha and Townsend in front of him. Got forward frequently and deserves huge credit for the opening goal. 8
Andros Townsend
Got on the score sheet but should’ve had a brace. Second half his pace was instrumental in stretching the Spurs back line. A weapon. 8
Wilfried Zaha
Overshadowed somewhat by Townsend but offers a great outlet when the side is penned in. Close control is something to behold with Zaha, defenders must hate playing against him. 7
Connor Wickham
There was an outpouring of emotion when he bundled home the opener, from both the striker and the fans. Fought valiantly to win possession up the field but waned in the second half. 7
Subs:
Christian Benteke – NA
Luka Milivojevic – NA
Jordan Ayew - NA
