Allison, in total, had a very solid game as he made 4 saves in the whole game.

Palace start the second half strong. Gallagher headed just wide of the post before Allison made a fantastic save to deny Edouard.

Palace kept the pressure and were rewarded ten minutes in. Schlupp put Mateta through on goal who squared it for Edouard to score.

Alisson was called on again when Olise beat the offside trap, but the Brazilian made a great save.

Then in the 89th minute, a controversial penalty is awarded after Guita and Jota clash. Fabinho steps up and slots it across Guaita.
