FT: Ipswich Town 0-1 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, speaking to Match of the Day, said: "Very pleased with the result. It was not about performing brilliantly. We expected a big fight and it was a big fight.
"It was an amazing goal, an amazing finish with JP Mateta. We had two or three chances to take the game away from them and didn't take them. At the end we had to be a bit lucky but I think we deserved to win.
"When JP gets the ball in the box he is such a good finisher and it is usually a goal. We're pleased with our defensive performance, we didn't allow them a chance from open play, just one from a set piece in the first half and one in the second half."
