# Crystal Palace player ratings: Stoke (A)

Crystal Palace relegated Stoke City this afternoon, coming from behind to win 2-1 at the Bet365 Stadium.

Palace took themselves past the coveted 40 point mark, after coming from behind in Staffordshire.

Xherdan Shaqiri fired the Potters in front, giving them a chance of survival in the Premier League.

However, James McArthur netted the equaliser for Palace, before Patrick van Aanholt netted late on to break Stoke hearts, and send the Potters down to the Championship after ten years in the top flight.

The result sees Palace on 41 points, with Premier League football returning to Selhurst Park next season.

Here’s how we rated the Palace players today.
