    "It was an emphatic victory, that was clear cut right from the final whistle.

    "They shower their intent to attack throughout the game, we need West Brom would crack and Bolaise scored and then Cabaye's penalty was the icing on the cake. 

    "As Alan Pardew claps the crowd they will be happy tonight. the Eagles are the up."

    Graeme Le Saux
    Former England defender on Final Score

    "It's been a feature of Palace's season. They're so creative and have so much pace in wide areas. 

    "Having that direct option of players that can run at opponents means you are always going to be in the games. 

    "Zaha has responded magnificently to being dropped. Alan Pardew must be delighted and they thoroughly deserve the success they've had at this stage of the season."

    Crystal Palace 2-0 West Brom

    A much-deserved win for Palace, who were made to work by a stubborn West Brom but whose superiority and attacking intent shone through in the end.

    West Brom's unbeaten run away from home this season is over and they can have no complaints.

    Palace move up to third for now. Take a bow, Mr Pardew.

    Callum McManaman looks to claim what would surely only be a consolation as he cuts inside from the left and shoots towards goal, but Wayne Hennessey blocks. It is the most the Palace keeper has had to do all day. And it is much too little, way too late for the Baggies.

    "It is no more than Palace deserve, it is no surprise that the wingers Zaha and Bolaise have induced the penalty.

    "It is ironic that Zaha might have been sent-off not long ago but at the same time he has been elusive. If he had picked the right selection at times they would have scored more.

    "Palace have been more superior in all departments, West Brom have sat too deep and have not supported their attacking players."

    Yohan Cabaye makes no mistake, putting his shot right of centre as Boaz Myhill dives the other way. Game over.

    It is the second successive game that Zaha has won a penalty, dispatched by Cabaye. It is also the sixth penalty Palace have been awarded this season.

  10. PENALTY - Crystal Palacepublished at 88 mins

    That has been coming. Wilfried Zaha has terrorised Chris Brunt. He beats him down the right and is felled by a loose, diving lunge. Penalty. No doubt.

  11. YELLOW CARD - Claudio Yacob and Wilfried Zahapublished at 86 mins

    What a waste. It is swung to the near post and hammered away with ease.

    Following the clearance, there is a flare-up on the touchline between Claudio Yacob and Wilfried zaha that sees the former booked for a bad tackle and the latter yellow carded for his reactive shove.

    Wilfried Zaha is found near the byline by Jason Puncheon but his low cross towards Yannick Bolasie is cleared by a defender.

    Soon after, Pape Souare comes close to scoring a fortuitous goal with an attempted cross that dips just over the bar.

    West Brom are the ones in need of a goal, but Palace look more likely to score again.

    "Crystal Palace will want the second goal to feel more comfortable, it has been a  better performance than last week at Watford. If it stays like this then two 1-0 victories on the trot would be a fine weekend for the manager, players and supporters."

    Crystal palace have a chance to break but Fraizer Campbell is on his own and faced with three West Brom defenders. The striker checks, lays off to Pape Souare and then  charges into the box to try and get on the end of a cross that is a yard ahead of him.

    “Conceding the goal is the worst thing that could’ve happened for Albion. It was alright absorbing all the Palace pressure as long as it was 0-0 – but now they’re behind they’ve got a real uphill battle. They’ve got to go for it now.”

    There is more energy in the West Brom players now as they chase the ball, but the fact they are using the added zip to chase as opposed to apply pressure to Palace tells you all you need to know.

    The home side are not home and dry but they are in control. Fraizer Campbell goes down in the box under a challenge, but the crowd's appeal for a penalty is more animated than the players'. Craig Dawson's arms were up, but Campbell made a meal of it.
