PLAYER RATINGS - CRYSTAL PALACE AT OLD TRAFFORD
Julian Speroni - Didn't have many saves to make and commanded box well. Beaten by Juan Mata's long range strike and some say he may have done better. But apart from that he was faultless. 7
Adrian Mariappa - Back in the side and got forward well. Delivered two stunning balls into the box in the second half in particular. Deserves to keep place. 7
Joel Ward - Another solid performance in what is now his regular position. But we all know he would love to be on the right. 7
Scott Dann - Commanding and constantly organising. Palace look better with him at the back, and he's definitely over his injury now. 7
Damien Delaney - Returned after illness and linked up with Dann again. Keep these two together. 7
James McArthur - Did the dirty work and tried to break up the play. 6
Joe Ledley - Good range of passing but could have got forward a bit more. Nothing much wrong though. 6
Yannick Bolasie - Storming runs down the left and his delivery was better this week. Can feel satisfied with his performance. 7
Jason Puncheon - Bright in spells. Had a good chance on the break but fluffed his lines as he pulled the trigger with an air shot. 6
Marouane Chamakh - Better than his performance against Sunderland. Needs to start scoring but still provides that link between midfield and attack. 6
Fraizer Campbell - Ran the line well on his own for large parts. Should have scored when one-on-one though. 6
Substitutes:
Barry Bannan - Got a decent cross in from the right but should have come on earlier. 5
Dwight Gayle - Not enough time to make an impact. 5
Kevin Doyle - Last throw of the dice at the death. 5
