Winning Moment

After enduring a goalmouth scramble when the Dutchman nearly netted another time defensively, their day improved further shortly afterward while Zirkzee was tripped on the edge of Palace's box from the Palace defender.

There was a moment's hesitation among the defenders during Fernandes' delivery the set-piece toward Mount enabling the Englishman to beat Henderson via a strong shot.
