Crystal Palace player ratings: Swansea City (H)

The Crystal Palace players were booed off for a second home game running after losing 2-0 against a very organised Swansea City side.

Both teams were struggling for injuries heading into the game joint second in the Premier League injury table.

There was only one enforced change from the Palace side though that narrowly lost to Liverpool at Anfield as James McArthur replaced undoubtedly Palace’s star player of the season so far, Ruben Loftus Cheek.

The visitors made two changes to the side that lost 4-0 to Manchester United. Mike van der Hoorn replaced the injured Kyle Bartley and new signing Sam Clucas made his first start in place of Roque Mesa

It was very frustrating first half for the Eagles with very little creativity.

The most promising chance fell to Patrick Van Aanholt after he was cleverly dinked through by Christian Benteke but the Dutchman couldn’t find anyone with his drilled cross.

The welsh side rarely threatened but broke the deadlock after Tammy Abraham converted Leroy Fer’s cross.

Boos rang out around Selhurst at half time and things got even worse after the break as a defensive catastrophe led to Jordan Ayew netting surely the easiest goal he will ever score in his career.

The home side had a lot of the ball in the second half but failed to create anything meaningful in the second half thanks to some brilliant defending from Swansea.

Lets see how the Palace players performed.
