CRYSTAL Palace hero Julian Speroni was quick to share the praise with his team-mates after Saturday's 1-0 win at Leicester City.
The shot-stopper was in fine form, making three outstanding saves to keep the Eagles in the game and make sure they were on course for a clean sheet.
In particular, Speroni pulled off a stunning point-blank stop to deny Jeffrey Schlupp in the first half and then divert a strong shot from Jamie Vardy in the second half at his near post.
"It was a team performance, of course," he insisted.
"It's pleasing when you make some saves which helps the team to win the game but I thought everybody did their job.
"The lads were there to pick up the rebounds, so I am just pleased for the clean sheet.
"I just tried to stay big and not gamble. I just felt if it came to me, I would save."
Speroni also had high praise for substitute Brede Hangeland, after the defender came on for Scott Dann at the break and assisted Joe Ledley for the winning goal early in the second half.
The custodian revealed the squad gave the former Norway international a special clap around the dressing room post-match, too.
"He was an example. It's not easy to come on at half-time and perform the way he did," said Speroni.
"I am really, really pleased for him. He's top, top professional and he deserves to have played the way he did.
"There was a round of applause for him from us because he was fantastic."
